This document will help you change your listserv settings. The information provided is for subscribers of listservs hosted by The Resource Center. For assistance with other listservs, contact their listserv administrator.

Settings

The listserv has a number of features that you may want to use:

  • Digest mode: Sends you one message with a digest of all the messages sent daily, rather than sending each message individually.
  • Index mode: Sends you only a list of subject lines for the day and no messages
  • Discussion mode: Sends you each message as it is posted. This is the default setting.
  • Temporary suspend mail from the list: Good for when you are out of the office or on vacation.
  • Acknowledgement: Sends you a confirmation message when your posts are distributed to the listserv.
  • Receive copies of your own posts.

Commands

To change your setting, send an e-mail message to lyris@lists.etr.org. Type a command into either the subject line or text of the message following this format:

Set [listserv name] [command]

For example, to set your NSSCTalk listserv settings to digest mode, type: Set nssctalk digest
