[Blindtlk] Changes to NFBNET.ORG Lists

[Kirk Harmon]

David, I like the bcc field being able to be used! It will sure help us who 
are  on multiple lists.  Let's just hope that we can keep it from creating 
any problems that will create a need to return to the old program. Kirk

> Dear NFBNET.ORG Listserv Subscribers
>
> First, I apologize to those who are subscribed to multiple lists, and
> who will get this message a number of times.  However, I have made
> some changes to list settings, which apply to everybody, so needed to
> send to all lists.
>
> First, changes in how some multi-part messages were made.  So, some
> of you using certain mail programs may see changes, and hopefully
> improvements with messages that contain both html and other types of data.
>
> Secondly, all messages on most lists are "personalized."  This means
> that there is a link at the bottom of each message which will take
> you directly to the page where you can unsubscribe or change your
> settings.  You could, for example, switch to or from Digest Mode,
> hold your mail, etc.  If you forward a message from one of our lists,
> you should edit this line out of the footer.  Further, if you were
> using a mail filter to sort your incoming mail into folders, and you
> used the From: field, your filter may now be broken.  The From: line
> is different because of the aforementioned personalization.  The list
> name always appears in brackets in the subject field, and this is
> a  safer choice for filtering.  Some lists do not have the
> "personalization" options turned on.  These are primarily our
> "hidden" lists for different Boards of Directors, etc.  This is
> because subscribing to these lists is not open, and is controlled by
> me anyway, so there is less need for changing options.
>
> Finally, you can now place list names in the CC or BCC fields,
> previously you couldn't.  This enables me to send messages to
> multiple lists, hiding the lists in the BCC field, which means less
> junk you have to go through.  We are trying this setting, for your
> convenience, but if it results in an increase in spam, or other
> wanted anomalies, we will have to change it back -- but we are trying it.
>
> As always, if you have any questions, just write me at dandrews at visi.com
