Hi Phil and Paul, I copied the following from a much earlier message from Chris Hallsworth: To subscribe to the Blind Facebook list, send a message to 'b-f-b-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' It didn't give step by step instructions but I guess it is like most other email lists in so much that you send the message and then get a reply that you reply to in order to confirm your membership. I don't know if it is a moderated list or not as I never signed up myself, so it is possible that Paul's message is just waiting for moderator approval. It might be worth putting "subscribe" in the subject line but the original message wasn't that specific. You might also be interested in the following which is supposed to make it possible for you to do most Facebook things via email. Again I haven't got there myself yet but it sounds good. When you get to the website, there is a link to the User Guide which gives a lot of the detail of how you do things. My understanding is that you subscribe to the website and there is no software to install on your local computer. http://www.thefriendmail.com Hope this helps, Jamie -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phil Stephenson Sent: 04 March 2011 11:00 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: wanting to join the Blind Facebook site Hi, I too would like to join the group so if someone could repost joining instructions that would be much appreciated.

I sent my Email but since then I have heard nothing back and wonder if I was meant to put anytihing in the Email, as I left both subject and edit fields blank. Having joined Facebook over a week ago, I am struggling with some aspects of the site and could really do with being on the Blind Facebook site. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks Paul. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
