Hello Eleanor and list,
here are some useful list commands for setting vacation mode and so on.
Firstly, to use any of these commands send an email to:
vip_students-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
It is important to note that you should not use the normal address for
posting to the list. If you do, your message will be sent to everybody
on
the list, and your command will have no effect on your subscription.
The command should be included in the subject line of the message.
There is
no need to include any information in the main body of the message.
In the below list, I have included the command to use. In each case use
the
email address
vip_students-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
to send the command.
1. subscribing/unsubscribing:
to unsubscribe from the list use the command:
unsubscribe
to subscribe to the list, use the command
subscribe
2. vacation mode:
If you are going on holidays you can temporarily set the list not to
send
you emails while away. You can then unset this when you return. Note
that
you are not unsubscribed from the list by using this command. this
mode is
known as 'vacation mode' and to enable it use the command
set vacation
To return to the normal mode use the command
unset vacation
3. Digest mode
If you don't want to receive each message sent to the list as a separate
message, you can use digest mode. This combines all the messages for a
given day and sends them to you as a single email.
To enable this mode use the command
set digest
and to unset this mode use
unset digest
When you send any of the above commands, you should receive a
confirmation
mail from the list stating whether your command was successful or not.
