~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C. TWO VERSIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:
OHFULTON-L is for individual messages to be delivered to your e-mail address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, you will receive a copy of the message. To subscribe send an e-mail message to: OHFULTON-L-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe
OHFULTON-D is for a digest of several accumulated messages to be delivered to your email address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, they are put into a digest to be delivered later. The digest is generated approximately once a day and delivered to digest subscribers. This option is handy for people who don't want multiple messages to accumulate in their mail box. To subscribe send an email message to: OHFULTON-D-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two separate e-mail addresses to use in order to participate in this list:
1.To send MESSAGES to ALL
subscribers on either version of the list use:
OHFULTON-L@rootsweb.com
2.To send COMMANDS to the
computer & SmartList software that runs this list use:
OHFULTON-L-request@rootsweb.com
(for individual messages)
OHFULTON-D-request@rootsweb.com
(for a digest of multiple messages)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
E. SENDING COMMANDS TO SMARTLIST & ROOTSWEB:
To subscribe, unsubscribe or make other changes to your mailing list subscription, you will send "commands" to the computer & the SmartList software on RootsWeb.
OHFULTON-L-request@rootsweb.com
(for individual messages)
OHFULTON-D-request@rootsweb.com
(for a digest of multiple messages)
a.To manage your subscription, send an e-mail message to the address above and use any of the following commands, typed within the body of your e-mail message. Type ONLY one of the commands as it is shown below. Do not add any extra words or lines of text:
subscribe
unsubscribe
get welcome.txt
(**When using the "get" command, be sure to include one word in the subject line: archive )
b.Do NOT use a signature file attached to the e-mail message. The software reads your message and tries to answer each command it finds. When it runs across your signature file it gets a bit confused and will send you a message stating something like 'Do not recognize command 'Jones'. Do not recognize command "Smith", etc.
