Subject: [mso] MSO Tip for people with multiple email addresses


 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.
