SAVE - CT-Leps Account Management

[Dori Sosensky]

There seems to be a flurry of people trying to sign off of the CT Leps 
Server who don't know how to do it.   In addition I myself have been asked 
to forward subscription information to several people in the last month. I 
have forwarded the information below to all of these individuals.   It 
appears that there is no one monitoring the list at this point so I thought 
it might be helpful to post the information again.

I have saved the message below from Larry Gall which describes how to 
achieve leaving the list as well as other choices for managing your 
account.   Anyone on a server should always save, file, archive this kind 
of information which is sent to you when you subscribe.

Larry Gall posting 9/1/00 - (note:  I have rearranged the original posting 
so that the quick reference portion is at the top.)



Managing your CTLEPS-L subscription:  all email for managing CTLEPS-L
subscriptions should be addressed to LISTPROC at LISTS.YALE.EDU (not to
the posting address of CTLEPS-L at LISTS.YALE.EDU).  Some of the most
commonly desired actions are as follows:

Your desire:                       Text of email should be:

signup to the list                 SUBSCRIBE CTLEPS-L yourname
signoff from the list              UNSUBSCRIBE CTLEPS-L
short info about the list          REV CTLEPS-L SHORT
full info, including subscribers   REV CTLEPS-L
review your subscription settings  SET CTLEPS-L
stop receipt of mail temporarily   SET CTLEPS-L MAIL POSTPONE
resume mail delivery again         SET CTLEPS-L MAIL
get mail as a daily digest         SET CTLEPS-L MAIL DIGEST

A number of people have asked recently about how to go about modifying
their subscription to the CTLEPS-L list, so I thought I'd send some
explanatory email to everyone.

YOU MAY WANT TO PRINT THIS AS A QUICK REFERENCE ABOUT CTLEPS-L !

The simplest way to tell you how to control your CTLEPS-L subscription
is to tell you that CTLEPS-L behaves essentially identically to the much
larger list called LEPS-L.  The only difference is the name of the list.

Having said that, there is a comprehensive set of online documentation
about LEPS-L at http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl   The documentation
covers subscribing, unsubscribing, postponing mail, and a wide variety of
other things.  Thus, directions you need to know for CTLEPS-L are
there in the LEPS-L documentation -- just substitute the word CTLEPS-L
whenever the word LEPS-L appears, and you'll be on the right track.
I've included a snippet of the most frequent commands below.

Note that the larger LEPS-L list is also connected to a newsgroup called
sci.bio.entomology.lepidoptera, whereas CTLEPS-L is not so connected.

Best regards,

Larry Gall
(CTLEPS-L listowner)
