Hi Phillip and all,
I have been asked to clear up how to use the commands for making
choices
about your subscription to the new vicsireland list. Here they are.
I will try and explain the below commands as best I can for you all.
TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (
Account being: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the subject field, enter "subscribe
TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server.
Account Being: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the subject field, use the word: unsubscribe
While you should NOT send your unsubscribe command to the list
itself, Ecartis will attempt to trap such erroneous postings and
forward them to the list administrators for proper handling.
Ecartis being the mailing software used by freelists to run its lists.
TO GET A DIGEST EVERY DAY:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
Remember this is: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with a subject
of "set [vicsireland] digest". This will turn on digests, and
you
will receive a digest however often the server is configured to
send them.
TO STOP GETTING A DIGEST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
Vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with a subject
of "unset [vicsireland] digest". This will turn off digest
mode,
and
instead you will receive an eMail every time something is posted
to the list.
TO GET A DIGEST AND NORMAL POSTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "set [vicsireland] digest2". This will activate digest mode
with
normal posting. As each message is posted to the list it will
be
sent to you, and you will receive a digest as well. This flag
should be used INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION TO.
To stop receiving digests in addition to normal posts, send a
message to the ecartis account with a subject of "unset
[listname]
digest2". You will go back to receiving normal posts.
TO FIND OUT WHO IS ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
Vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with a subject
of "who [vicsireland]". You will receive a list of people
subscribed
to the list who are not hidden. Admins will be able to see
everbody, including those hidden.
TO HIDE ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server
Vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with a subject
of "set [vicsireland] hidden". You will no longer appear on WHO
queries to the listserver. No one (except Admins) will know you
are subscribed to the list unless you post to it (in which case
those people on the list will know you posted if nothing else).
Hope this clears up the command strings for you all.
