Subject: [EMA-ARRL] New software, New List address....Important
Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20020125011136.00a47540@mailman.qth.net>

List Members,

As you know, all email lists at QTH.NET are currently being run on a
program called Majordomo. Since this program was written there have been
many changes in list management software. We had hoped that Majordomo
would update as time went by, but sadly it hasn't (even though the authors
said they would). To that end QTH.NET will be changing the lists over
to a more user-friendly package called Mailman. This list has now been 
changed.

Mailman allows you to manage your subscriptions on the web. You can
subscribe, unsubscribe, put your subscription on hold, change from normal
to digest mode and much more. You can still manage your subscription via
email, but the GUI is much easier. If you would like to have a look at the
user guide (a work in progress), go to:
http://www.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-userguide-0.1.pdf
You will need Acrobat Reader to view this file.

What do you have to do when we change? Pretty much nothing! When the list
is moved, you will receive a welcome message from Mailman. You should save
this as it contains the address you are subscribed under as well as a
password (which you can change). You'll need the password to make any
changes in your subscriptions. You will also receive the new list posting
address along with links to the list info page, subscription management
page and more.

Please remember HTML formatted posts and messages containing any 
attachments are rejected by ALL lists at QTH.NET.

If you want the list members to see your messages, you MUST send them in 
PLAIN TEXT only.  If you do not know how to send plain text messages with 
your mail client, visit one of the sites below for instructions (most 
popular email clients are covered).

While I don't expect any problems with the transfer, please be patient if
problems do arise and be confident that we will be working to solve them as 

quickly as possible.
