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. : : Cheers, : : Phil : : : -----Original Message----- : From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On : Behalf Of Paul Roberts : Sent: 04 March 2011 00:20 : To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx : Subject: [jaws-uk] wanting to join the Blind Facebook site : : Hi all, : : Last week, someone on this list sent me the address for me to subscribe to : the Blind facebook site. : : 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.
