Helpful Hints
Archived Messages
IAMSLIC list emails are archived at http://sympa.ucdavis.edu/ PLEASE NOTE: All archived IAMSLIC e-mail discussion list messages are publicly accessible by any Web search engine. Messages are archived in dated log files that are generated based on the volume of emails sent. The archive is initially arranged by log file date and then by “thread” (i.e. original email with any follow-up messages). There are no search features for the archive but you may SORT messages by date, author or full subject line. A rough search can be done by Subject sorting and then using your web browser’s “Find in Page” feature to search for a particular word.
Attachments
Please do NOT send attachments to the IAMSLIC list. Many subscribers do not have the software applications to read attachments. In addition, we would like to minimize the risk of transmitting viruses to list subscribers. If you would like your email to be sent to the greatest number of recipients, in the safest manner possible, please incorporate your entire message into the body of the email!
Postponing Messages
When you are away for extended periods of time and don’t wish to receive messages from the IAMSLIC list, please use the handy POSTPONE command. This command is also useful for those subscribers who wish to post to the list but who don’t want to receive any messages.
Signature Files and listproc@ucdavis.edu
For those subscribers who have automatic signature files, if you are sending a request to listproc@ucdavis.edu, please make sure that you insert a double-hyphen above your signature. The double-hyphen (–) is a signal to the listproc software to ignore any text below.
Unsubscribed Email Addresses
Many people have multiple email addresses. When you post to the list, keep in mind that the listproc application ONLY recognizes the email address with which you subscribed to the list. If you would like to change your subscribed email address, please contact the list manager, Ruth Gustafson at ragustafon@ucdavis.edu
Malfunctioning/Nonreceiving Email Addresses
All subscribers whose e-mail addresses do not work or do not receive e-mail for over a month will be removed from the IAMSLIC e-mail discussion list. If you wonder why you have not received IAMSLIC discussion list e-mail despite being subscribed, please contact one of the list managers listed below to determine why this is happening.
