On my drive home from school today, I was stuck in traffic, and got to
thinking about Anne's question about creating a rule to always send mail to
mso from the correct address and I realized "duhhh, Linda...you forgot to
give her the obvious way to do this"
If you are subscribed to mso under some address other than your default
address, when you hit reply and don't choose the correct address, your mail
is sent from the default and you (and me too!) soon receive an email from
freelists telling you that your post was rejected becuz you sent it from an
address that is not subscribed....members like Anne, Kathy, Lexi, and James
H. come to mind cuz I see this happening to them a lot
Here's the easiest way to fix it....go to this page and subscribe again,
using your default email address:
//www.freelists.org/webpage/mso
Just enter your default email address and hit the Go button
Within a few minutes, you will receive an email from freelists telling you
that address has been subscribed....immediately go back to the url above and
enter that address again, but in the dropdown, where it says "Subscribe",
choose "Turn vacation mode on" and hit Go again.
Now your default address is also subscribed but it's on "vacation" so you
will not receive mail at that address....HOWEVER, when an address is on
vacation, you can still SEND mail from that address...so, this way you will
only receive the group's mail under the address where you want to receive
it, BUT you can send mail from both that address and your default address.
You can do this with as many addresses as you want. Currently, I'm
subscribed to this group under three different addresses, but I only receive
my mail under one of them cuz the other two are on vacation...however, I can
reply to posts and send new posts from any of them.
