easier to recognize all the
lists to which you are<br>
subscribed and in case you
want to unsubscribe or
temporary disable mail<br>
delivery.<br>
<br>
* The name of the list:
NCSG-DISCUSS<br>
<br>
* The LISTSERV host name: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://LISTSERV.SYR.EDU"
rel="noreferrer"

***********************************<br>
* SETTING A SERVER-LEVEL
PASSWORD *<br>
***********************************<br>
<br>
If you do not already have a
password for the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://LISTSERV.SYR.EDU"
rel="noreferrer"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://LISTSERV.SYR.EDU"
rel="noreferrer"
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>
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="
rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=</a>.<br>
<br>
*****************************************<br>
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV
VIA THE WWW *<br>
*****************************************<br>
<br>
Subscription settings and
preferences can be set
using LISTSERV's web<br>
interface. Once you have
set a server password as
explained above, you<br>
may log in and set your
preferences at:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS"
rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS</a>.<br>
<br>
Contributions sent to
this list are
automatically archived.
You can<br>
access the list archives at:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=NCSG-DISCUSS</a>.<br>
<br>
You may need to log in to
view the archives.<br>
<br>
**************************************<br>
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV
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="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU');"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a></a>,
or by sending a blank
email to:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','NCSG-DISCUSS-signoff-request@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU');"
target="_blank">NCSG-DISCUSS-signoff-request@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a>.<br>
<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
delivery option on the list
subscription page<br>
at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS"
rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS">https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS</a></a>.<br>
<br>
Following instructions
from the list owner, your
subscription options<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>
command to <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU');"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU">LISTSERV@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU</a></a>.<br>
<br>
You may also check your
current settings on the
list subscription page<br>
