To leave the list, send an email to: Caitlin at ckenney@wnylrc.org to request removal.
Users can sign up for digestified rather than immediate delivery of list items using the command SET wnylib-l digests.
This option is an alternative to MAIL and NOMAIL.
To enable digest send email to: listserv@listserv.buffalo.edu
In the body of the email message write: SET wnylib-l digests
Leave the subject area of the message blank and delete any signature file you may have at the end of
your message.
• When switching from any option to DIGEST: mail delivery stops immediately, and the first digest may contain some items the user has already seen (if switching from MAIL to DIGEST). This is because the digests are global to the list - they are the same for everyone, just like regular issues of newspapers.
To disable digest send email to: listserv@listserv.buffalo.edu
In the body of the email message write: SET wnylib-l nodigests
Leave the subject area of the message blank and delete any signature file you may have at the end of
your message.
• When switching from DIGEST to NODIGEST, the current, unfinished digest is immediately mailed to the user.
New messages are delivered normally, as they arrive. Thus, a "trick" to get a copy of the current digest is to switch to
NODIGEST and then back to DIGEST. You can send both commands in the same mail message to make sure they are executed together.
When switching around between these delivery options, users will observe the following behavior (digests will be assumed to be daily for the sake of clarity):
• When switching to NOMAIL: delivery stops immediately. The day's digest is not sent, as the user is assumed to desire immediate termination of traffic from the list. Any mail already "in the pipeline" to the subscriber will still be delivered.
