Hi, Drew, try this and see if you can't get subscribed to the book group this way. Good luck. I didn't actually try the email address for this forum in the email. But I can see what is wrong with it. The person who wrote the message included the wrong kind of link--one that opens your Browser rather then a new message. Second, the words "mail to" should be taken out of the email address. Simply copy everything after the "mail to" and see if it works.

If you could have him contact me separately that would be great.

The address sounded like blind something or other but I don't remember the rest. His name is Jack Zimmerman. I had no trouble and hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll write to him personally and see if he can help you out. Have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dhunthausen To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:12 PM Subject: Re: Something you might be interested in I'd like to join this book review group, but the two links to join within the message are bad. can you please send me the correct links? thanks Drew Drew Hunthausen 714-296-7111 Mailto: dhunthausen@xxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Prater To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 10:21 AM Subject: OT: Something you might be interested in Hi, I'm passing this on for somebody so people can be made aware of this new group. It seems like a fun group. With this being a book related list I thought people might want to do this off the record but not to take away from this list in the least bit. Good evening folks This may be a bit off topic but as one can indeed read books using one's braille note I thought I would see if anyone here was interested. Please read below Hello My name is Jack Zimmerman. Do you like to read? Do you like to discuss what you've read?? Then I've got just the group for you. I would like to invite you to join our book talk List. Tis called appropriately enough booktalk. And that is what it's all about. Anything to do with books with a a blind or visually impaired perspective. How you read them. Do you prefer braille or audio?? and what devices you may use. Reviews of books you've read and enjoyed or ones you haven't and why?? Comments on your favorite authors or the characters they create and or series they write. Requests for or suggestions of books to read. In short anything to do with books is acceptable. You will receive a warm courteous friendly and cordial welcome and the only rule is that which applies to any public forum, that you respect the views of others. There are two ways you can join. Either write me at mailto:blindman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and I will be glad to add you or send a blank mailto:book_talk-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx As an antispam measure I will need to approve your subscription but that will never take longer than 3 or 4 hours. I look forward to seeing you there. Cordially Jack Zimmerman ___
