If you do not already have a password for the <a href="http://listserv.syr.edu/" target="_blank">LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a> server, we<br>
recommend that you set one now. A LISTSERV password is linked to your<br>
subscribed address (the email address which received this message)<br>
and is valid for all lists to which you are<br>
subscribed on the <a href="http://listserv.syr.edu/" target="_blank">LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a> server. The same password can be used<br>
for email commands as well as for access to the web interface for the<br>

may log in and set your preferences at:<br>

You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of<br>
messages that you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own<br>
messages, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS REPRO command.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send you a short acknowledgement instead<br>
of the entire message, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS ACK NOREPRO command.<br>
Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with the SET<br>
NCSG-DISCUSS NOACK NOREPRO command.<br>
<br>
This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the<br>
digested version of the postings, then issue a SET NCSG-DISCUSS DIGEST<br>

have been set to "REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For<br>
more information about subscription options, send a QUERY NCSG-DISCUSS<br>
