Getting off the List
Region F currently has the following lists:
- regionf-all
- regionf-students
The mailing list is basically a collection of email addresses hidden
behind a "list" email address. When a person sends email to
the list address (known as posting a message to the list) the
message is sent to everyone who has requested to be in the list.
This allows for everyone on the list to share in the same discussions
or announcements. The process of adding your name to the list of email
addresses is called "subscribing" to or joining the list. When you make
a request to join a list, your email address is added to the list and
you will start receiving messages people send to the list. If you wish
to stop receiving messages, you must "unsubscribe" from the list, which
means having your address removed from the list.
To subscribe to this list, you must send email to
swemail@swe.org with the
command "subscribe regionf-all your_email_address" on one line of the
body of the message and "end" on the next line. Here is an example of
how to join the regionf-all list, if
your email address is somebody@any.company :
To: swemail@swe.org
Subject: /anything, does not matter/
subscribe regionf-all somebody@any.company
end
To subscribe to this list, you must send email to
swemail@swe.org with the
command "subscribe regionf-students your_email_address" on one line of the
body of the message and "end" on the next line. Here is an example of
how to join the regionf-students list, if
your email address is somebody@any.school :
To: swemail@swe.org
Subject: /anything, does not matter/
subscribe regionf-students somebody@any.school
end
To send a message to a Region F list, send email to regionf-all@swe.org
or regionf-students@swe.org .
Here is an example of sending a message to the regionf-all@swe.org list:
To: regionf-all@swe.org
Subject: News
Hi all,
We have great news ...
It is good netiquette to sign your email messages and list your
email address at the end of the message so list readers can
easily find your email and respond to your message.
Getting yourself removed from the mailing list is called
"unsubscribing". The first step in unsubscribing is to log
on to the proper account from which you subscribed to the list.
Then send an email to swemail@swe.org with the line
"unsubscribe regionf-all" (for the regionf-all list) in the
first line of the body and
the line "end" in the second line. Here is an example of how to
unsubscribe to the regionf-all@swe.org list:
To: swemail@swe.org
Subject:
unsubscribe regionf-all
end
