This document will help you consider your options when you go on vacation
or if you will be out of the office for a period
of time. If you decide to temporarily suspend
e-mail discussion group messages, the instructions below will
take you through the process step-by-step. The
information provided is for subscribers of e-mail discussion groups hosted by The Resource Center.
For assistance with groups not hosted by The Resource Center,
contact its administrator. Issues to consider
When you go on vacation there are two issues that you should consider:
- Will you be using an automatic e-mail
message informing people that you are
"out of the office" each time you receive
an e-mail message? If so, then you absolutely
must change your e-mail discussion group settings to
receive no messages while you are away.
Otherwise a message from the e-mail discussion group will generate an "out of the office" message
posted to the group, which will annoy
the other people that are receiving messages. Follow the instructions
below to suspend your subscription.
- Even if you are not using a "out of the office" message, you
should consider whether you want to receive
all of the messages that will be posted
while you are away. If you normally receive
a lot of e-mails and don't think you will
have time to go back and read the NSSCTalk
postings, you may want to temporarily
suspend messages from the e-mail discussion group. You
can always go back to the The Resource Center e-mail discussion group web page later and read messages
you missed.
