a reminder

[Guest guest]

Randie - have you considered going on digest mode rather than getting individual

emails (I apologize for not looking to see if you are already). I find digest

mode great - one or two emails per day with all the Listen-up emails in one. I

rely on email to communicate with folks I support so having a flood of email

from a listserve wouldn't work for me - but digest is great.

Thanks

Barbara

getting way too many e-mails that are just " thank yous, welcomes, and way to

goes " . Please remember to send those just to the person it applies to so

that others don't have their e-mail accounts overloaded. I keep losing

important messages that I never even got to read and it takes me an hour

even just to skim all the e-mail.

In outlook express, when I hit reply I get a header which contains the info. If

you can't

figure it out for your particular browser, and you want to reply to someone

privately,

please send me a message (offlist) and I'll be happy to let you know what the

original

address was.

Re: a reminder

If you've registered with Yahoo Groups (different from just Yahoo), then you'll

be able to

access the list via the web. If you can do that, just find the message you want

to respond

to and it will list at the top who sent it.

I'm also guilty of this, and for that I apologize. I'll try to watch myself.

One solution is to use the web to access the mail and not have it mailed to your

email

address. That way, you can save the mailbox for other stuff and still have

access to this

group. When I go out of town and will be accessing the group from another

computer, I set

myself to no-mail and via the web I can access this group no matter what

computer I'm

using to do so. I can also post messages, and do all sorts of stuff. You can

change how

your membership is mailed to you via this page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups?edit=1

But remember, in order to be able to do anything concerning our group via the

yahoo groups

website, you have to register with them first. This is so that access to " our

stuff " can

be restricted to only members.

I'm not very familiar with Hotmail accounts or how they work, but I've known

some folks

who set up a separate account for the email groups they belong to, and have one

for other

stuff. If the stuff you're losing is not from this group, you might wish to

consider this.

With 346 members now, this group is bound to be overwhelming at times, even if

all

messages posted to the list is on topic and " congrat " messages are sent

privately.
