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!
