If you do not
already have a
password for
the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">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 moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">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>
lists to which
you are
subscribed.<br>
<br>
To set your
password for
this server,
visit:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1="></a><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=</a>.<br>

BY EMAIL *<br>
**************************************<br>
<br>
You may leave
the list at
any time by
sending a
SIGNOFF
NCSG-DISCUSS<br>
command to: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU"></a><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a>,

<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>
command.<br>
<br>
You can also
set the digest

<br>
Following
instructions
from the list
owner, your
subscription
options<br>
have been set
to "REPRO"
rather than
the usual

more

about
