Re: [pinhole-discussion] Re: [pinhole] Discussion list upgrade
Those of you who were previously subscribed to receive the digest version of the list can still do so, but you'll have to change your preference to this on the new list. To switch to the digest version (or to change other settings with your account, go to: http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/pinhole-discussion and at the bottom of the page, you'll see the section Pinhole-Discussion Subscribers. Enter your email address in the field before the Edit Options button, then click on the button. You will have to enter your password here in order to actually make any changes. One of the preferences is whether to receive the regular or digest version of the list. So, if you want the digest, select that, enter your password, then submit the changes. Available options are: Disable mail delivery Turn this on if you want mail to not be delivered to you for a little while. Set Digest Mode If you turn digest mode on, you'll get posts bundled together once a day, instead singly when they're sent. If digest mode is changed from on to off, you will receive one last digest. Get MIME or Plain Text Digests? Receive posts you send to the list? Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list? Conceal yourself from subscriber list?

Here's a reply. Just want to know if I made it through the eye of the needle. - Original Message - From: Gregg Kemp gregg.kemp@p at ??? To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 3:25 PM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Re: [pinhole] Discussion list upgrade Hi again, Well, the transfer of subscriptions was a hundred times easier than I thought it would be (assuming it worked). And, I was wrong about you're needing to confirm your subscription. Everyone who was on the old list is now on the new list. You each have your own password which you can (and probably should) change right away. Anyone subscribing on their own WILL have to confirm, but you are home free. But, just to be sure this is all working ok, would someone please post a reply just to be sure it IS working. Thanks, Gregg At 05:25 PM 8/18/00 -0400, you wrote: Hi all, I will be upgrading the pinhole discussion list in the next few days. I have been looking at various options for several months to make some improvements to the list, and I feel confident that the changes will benefit us all. The list will continue to be free of advertisements and free to all subscribers. In addition, the new list will have a web interface to allow everyone an individual page to change your list preferences. The interface is call Mailman and it seems really slick. It will allow everyone to control features such as regular or digest versions, no mail while on vacation, changing your password (did I mention the password? ouch!) Yes, you will get a personal password with the new list. The password will allow you to change your settings and also to access the archive. And, in case you forget your password, it is mailed to you as a reminder once a month (you can also request it at any time). The archive is another big change. It will require a password to prevent email spammers from harvesting our email addresses. In short, the list is being set up to pretty much block spammers from accessing any list files. Unfortunately, we may end up with 2 archives, as the new listserver has it's own. I'll work on moving the old one into the new one in time. So, sometime in the next few days you will receive an email that you have been subscribed to the new list, named Pinhole-Discussion@p at ???. This email will have instructions for confirming your new subscription. You will need to reply to the email to complete the new subscription. I'll post a message to this list once I've subscribed everyone to the new list. Once you have signed up, please start using the new list. I will continue this list for a few weeks, but it will eventually go away. I believe this will be a big improvement for us all. But please let me know any concerns.
