ARLIS-L Colleagues,
I fell behind a bit in January and February with my monthly tips, but I'm
back again for the month of March. With the upcoming conference
many people may wish to set their ARLIS-L subscriptions to NOMAIL while
they are gone. This is very important for several
reasons.
1. If you use an automatic response in your email system, posters to the
list will not receive that short email from your system whenever they
post. We all have had the experience of receiving up to 10 or more
little emails from people out of the office for a length of time every
time we post to the list. Save people the hassle of getting these
by setting your subscription to NOMAIL.
2. You have less email to wade through when you return from the
conference (or vacation, or wherever)
3. While you're in Baltimore you won't be missing much on the list
because everyone else will be in Baltimore as well!
To set your subscription on NOMAIL, follow these directions:
1. send an email from the exact address you are subscribed under
to:
[log in to unmask]
2. Leave the subject blank and get rid of any signature files that
automatically append to all your outgoing email.
3. type the following command:
SET ARLIS-L NOMAIL
You'll receive an email back indicating that your subscription has
changed. Follow the same instructions when you get back from the
conference to reverse this but use the command: SET ARLIS-L
MAIL.
If you have any problems doing this there could be a number of
reasons. Do not hesitate to contact me so we can figure it
out. By contacting me I also get the opportunity to clean up old
addresses or mistakes in the database. So please let me know if you
run into any problems so we can fix them now for your ease of use
later.
Have a wonderful conference!
Thanks,
