Hi, IAMSLIC folks: When you are out of town or not able to receive your
e-mail for a long time, >please< use the handy POSTPONE messages command.
This command sets up your IAMSLIC@ucdavis.edu discussion list subscription
to not receive IAMSLIC discussion list messages. This will prove
especially useful when you are gone for extended periods of time for
conferences or vacation. Then you can always pop into the monthly Web
archives of the IAMSLIC e-mail discussion list to review the messages you
missed. (The next helpful hint will discuss how to access the archives.)
Also, since we are REQUIRING that everyone be a subscriber to the new
IAMSLIC discussion list in order to send messages to this new IAMSLIC
discussion list, this gives people who only want to SEND messages to the
list the option to basically turn off their RECEIPT of IAMSLIC messages.
To turn your messages off:
set <list> mail postpone
So here's a model of how you'd do this (leave the SUBJECT line blank):
TO : listproc@ucdavis.edu
SUBJECT:
Body of Message: set iamslic mail postpone
To turn your messages back on:
set <list> mail ack
So here's a model of how you'd do this (leave the SUBJECT line blank):
TO : listproc@ucdavis.edu
SUBJECT:
Body of Message: set iamslic mail ack
CAUTION: For those of you who have automatic signature files (address
appendices at the bottom of your e-mail), please make sure that you have a
double-hyphen above this addressing information. The double-hyphen [--]
alone on a single line is a signal to the ListProc software to ignore the
text below. For example, see below for how my address line is set up!
Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions about any of this. Sorry
about the exceptionally technological flavor of this message :+> Just want
everyone to be able to take advantage of some of the great features of
this new discussion list!
Cheers, Ruth Gustafson
IAMSLIC list manager
