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]
