What? You mean you're not ready for another FUN weekend of 4 bazillion emails an hour???<roflmao> Sorry...couldn't resist. I say move 'em and sent the thing out. Since folks can't reply to it...there's no danger of starting an email blast from folks who don't realize the meaning of the word Test! ;-) Dian Chapman Technical Consultant, Microsoft MVP & TechTrax Editor Lots more tips at: http://www.mousetrax.com (Click TechPage and TechTrax for tutorials) Word MVP support site: http://www.mvps.org/word Microsoft support groups: http://support.microsoft.com -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda Johnson Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 9:33 PM To: MSO Freelist Group Subject: [mso] OT question from Linda....I need advice OK gang...I know this is OT and I really apologize...but since all of you went thru the fiasco with me when I moved this group from yahoo to freelists, I'm hoping you will bear with me and give me some advice. Here's the deal: I just set up a freelists group for my ABC Newsletter which goes out once a month.....it's one mailing, only one day a month.......and therefore, there's really no such thing as "digest".....however, there are a few members who are set for "no email" at yahoo......so I'm thinking there's really no reason to send the whole membership of this newsletter (about 2000 members) an email announcing this, as long as I make sure I set all the no mail people to vacation before I mail it out...the subject line identifier will be [abcomputers] which was exactly the same as yahoo so most people's mail rules shouldn't be affected.....and if they are, it's only one mail a month.....but I certainly don't want to piss people off again, so I thought I'd ask here if anyone can see any reason why I can't just mail this out next week like I normally do and put an explanation INSIDE the newsletter, right at the top, simply stating that the homebase for the text version of this mail has changed and give them a link to the homepage for it if they want to unsubscribe.....what do you think? also, since I'm the only member at this time, it was easy for me to send all the past issues to the new freelists group...there are only 11 emails in total so far, so the archives at freelists are now up to date.....here's a link to the homepage I made at freelists if any of you would be kind enuf to tell me if the instructions, etc. are clear //www.freelists.org/webpage/abcomputers thanks a bunch.....and since I went OT, I will give you all three days to send every Outlook Express question you have to this list....LOL......ONLY KIDDING!! thanks for your time.....I respect all your opinions, so if you think I need to write to my whole membership and let them all re-subscribe to the freelists version of this newsletter voluntarily, I will do that, but it's REALLY not what I want to do.
