Hello all,

A few have asked how they should set them selves up to receive no messages 
from the list when they are on holiday. 

If you don't understand everything that I'm pasting here don't worry some 
of it demands that you have experience with the workings of freelists.org


TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LIST:

Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (you can
just
reply to this message).  In the subject field, enter "subscribe
[listname]".  Or, you can send a message to "[listname]-request"
with a subject of "subscribe".

TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server (you can
just
reply to this message).  Enter "unsubscribe [listname]" in the
subject field.  You can also send a message to
"[listname]-request" with a subject of "unsubscribe".
While you should NOT send your unsubscribe command to the list
itself, Ecartis will attempt to trap such erroneous postings and
forward them to the list administrators for proper handling.

TO GET A DIGEST EVERY DAY:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "set [listname] digest".  This will turn on digests, and you
will receive a digest however often the server is configured to
send them.

TO STOP GETTING A DIGEST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "unset [listname] digest".  This will turn off digest mode,
and
instead you will receive an eMail every time something is posted
to the list.

TO GET A DIGEST AND NORMAL POSTS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "set [listname] digest2".  This will activate digest mode
with
normal posting.  As each message is posted to the list it will
be
sent to you, and you will receive a digest as well.  This flag
should be used INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION TO.
To stop receiving digests in addition to normal posts, send a
message to the ecartis account with a subject of "unset
[listname]
digest2".  You will go back to receiving normal posts.

TO FIND OUT WHO IS ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "who [listname]".  You will receive a list of people
subscribed
to the list who are not hidden.  Admins will be able to see
everbody, including those hidden.

TO HIDE ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "set [listname] hidden".  You will no longer appear on WHO
queries to the listserver.  No one (except Admins) will know you
are subscribed to the list unless you post to it (in which case
those people on the list will know you posted if nothing else).

TO STOP HIDING ON A LIST:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "unset [listname] hidden".  You will then show up on WHO
queries to the listserver.

TO GO ON VACATION:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "set [listname] vacation".  You will remain subscribed to the
list but will not receive any eMail as long as this flag is set.
To come back from vacation, eMail the ecartis account with a
subject of "unset [listname] vacation".

TO CHECK ON YOUR OWN STATUS:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "stats [listname]".  You will get a list of all the flags
currently set on your account.

TO GET A LIST OF FLAGS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "flags".  An eMail will be sent to you with the available
flags
that you can set on your account.

TO GET A LIST OF COMMANDS AVAILABLE:
Send a message to the ecartis account on the server with a
subject
of "commands".  An eMail will be sent to you with all the
commands
that the server and any installed modules offer.
