Dear LM_NET Colleagues, LM_NET postings will continue through any and all holidays, vacations and "off-time". Please take note: summer will be upon many of us very soon, so I want to point out two options to consider, with respect to LM_NET's continuing postings. Here is some information about the differences between changing your LM_NET settings to NOMAIL, and choosing to SIGNOFF. NOMAIL allows you to suspend delivery of LM_NET mail, and you remain a member, and can post or restart delivery of your mail at any time. SIGNOFF means that you drop your subscription to LM_NET, and must resubscribe. Both options are explained below. * * * * Temporarily Stopping (and Re-Starting) Mail From LM_NET * * * * If you want to stop receiving mail from LM_NET for a period of time and still remain a member of LM_NET, all you have to do is send a specific message (as explained below) to the listserv computer which handles LM_NET mail. Send the message to this address: listserv@listserv.syr.edu In the body of the message, on the first line, type the following: set lm_net nomail To restart your LM_NET mail, send to the same address, the following: set lm_net mail Please note: One more thing. The listserver will ask for a confirmation, so please be ready to respond with a simple "OK" reply. How to quit/sign off from LM_NET.... In the event that you want to quit/sign off from LM_NET.... 1. Send these words in the first (and only) line of a message: signoff lm_net *Please do not include any other words in the message, including signature files! 2. Send your signoff message to: listserv@listserv.syr.edu and you will be dropped. (No other words are necessary.) Important Note for Netscape Mail Users: Netscape and perhaps some other graphical e-mailers require confirmation. The Listserv software recognized that Netscape and certain other e-mail software allows easy faking of return addresses, so Listserv has built in a response confirmation required checking system for all signoff requests from such e-mailers. In this case, please allow time to reply to the automated message that you will receive very soon after requesting to sign off! P L E A S E do _NOT_ send the message to LM_NET. It will go to 14,000+ members of the discussion group, creating ill will and consternation among our happy members. Send it ONLY to: listserv@listserv.syr.edu If you are unable to sign-off alone, contact the managers-owners of the list, and ask them to remove you (pmilbury@ericir.syr.edu or mike@ericir.syr.edu). We will do it as soon as it is humanly possible. Glad to have you with us on LM_NET!
