[va-bird] Re: help with list-serve

VA-Birders,

Sorry, a bit more admin.  If this computer stuff was easy thousands of 
off-shore helplines would close down.

A popular option of VA-Bird (especially in the spring heavy traffic season) 
is Digest.  Digest delivers one email per day that contains the posts to 
VA-Bird for that day, and you can pick which subjects to double-click to 
read, or not to read.  To change to Digest, email to
va-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with Digest in the Subject field.

Another reason for VA-Bird unsubscribe problems is that the confirmation 
email is considered spam and put into a junk folder by YOUR email service.  
Unsubscribing is first an email to
va-bird-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with Unsubscribe in the Subject field, and second a response from you 
confirming that you want to unsubscribe.

I would mention my life Golden-crowned Sparrow I saw Saturday, but it was in 
Palo Alto, CA and not appropriate for a VA-Bird post.
