Allison...I've seen both your posts to Museum-L...in order to stop
getting emails, you need to unsubscribe.  Below are the instructions on
how to unsubscribe...hope these help!


Your subscription to the MUSEUM-L  list (Museum discussion list) has
been
accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is
the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you
ever
need to leave  the list, you will find the  necessary instructions
below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of
all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special
mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that
you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go
on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill
up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the
"welcome
messages" from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive
after
subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the
list,
just send  mail to [log in to unmask] This  is called
"sending
mail to the list," because you send mail to a single address and
LISTSERV
makes  copies  for all  the  people  who  have subscribed.  This
address
([log in to unmask])  is also  called the  "list address."
You
must  never try  to send  any command  to that  address, as  it would
be
distributed to all  the people who have subscribed. All  commands must
be
sent to the "LISTSERV  address," [log in to unmask] It is
very
important to understand  the difference between the  two, but
fortunately
it is  not complicated. The  LISTSERV address is  like a FAX  number
that
connects you  to a  machine, whereas  the list address  is like  a
normal
voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial
the
FAX number  when you  wanted to talk  to someone on  the phone,  you
will
quickly realize  that you used the  wrong number and call  again. No
harm
will have been done. If on the  other hand you accidentally make your
FAX
call  someone's  voice  line,  the  person receiving  the  call  will
be
inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes.
The
fact that  most people  will eventually  connect the  FAX machine  to
the
voice line to  allow the FAX to  go through and make the  calls stop
does
not mean  that you  should continue  to send FAXes  to the  voice
number.
People would just get mad at you.  It works pretty much the same way
with
mailing  lists, with  the difference  that  you are  calling hundreds
or
thousands of people  at the same time, and consequently  you can expect
a
lot of people to get upset if  you consistently send commands to the
list
address.

You  may leave  the list  at  any time  by sending  a "SIGNOFF
MUSEUM-L"
command to  [log in to unmask] You can also  tell LISTSERV
how
you want it to  confirm the receipt of messages you send  to the list.
If
you do  not trust  the system,  send a "SET  MUSEUM-L REPRO"  command
and
LISTSERV will send you  a copy of your own messages, so  that you can
see
that the  message was  distributed and  did not get  damaged on  the
way.
After a while  you may find that this is  getting annoying, especially
if
your mail program does not tell you  that the message is from you when
it
informs you that new  mail has arrived from MUSEUM-L. If  you send a
"SET
MUSEUM-L  ACK   NOREPRO"  command,  LISTSERV   will  mail  you   a
short
acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your
mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this
is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn
off
acknowledgements completely with "SET MUSEUM-L NOACK NOREPRO".

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get
a
list  of the  available  archive  files by  sending  an "INDEX
MUSEUM-L"
command to  [log in to unmask] You can then  order these
files
with  a "GET  MUSEUM-L  LOGxxxx" command,  or  using LISTSERV's
database
search facilities. Send  an "INFO DATABASE" command  for more
information
on the latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive
the
digested  version of  the  postings,  just issue  a  SET MUSEUM-L
DIGEST
command.

Please note that  it is presently possible for other  people to
determine
that  you are  signed up  to the  list through  the use  of the
"REVIEW"
command,  which  returns   the  e-mail  address  and  name   of  all
the
subscribers. If  you do not  want your name to  be visible, just  issue
a
"SET MUSEUM-L CONCEAL" command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the
LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an "INFO
REFCARD"
command to [log in to unmask]
