How to change your settings by sending email messages
While it is probably easiest to use the
web-interface to make changes to your account, you may
want to make changes the "classic" way by sending email messages to the
listserv program. Here's how.
General instructions
Send any of the following messages to:
listserv@listserv.plattecanyon.com
Leave the subject line blank.
Put the short, one-line command as the only text of the
body (main part where you write messages)
Subscribing via email
If you would like to subscribe to the list, send the
following message (substituting in your first and last name for the
placeholders listed here:
subscribe tbcon Joe Cool
Receiving copies of your own posted messages
Most lists, by default, do not send copies of posted
messages back to the originator of the message. This means you won't see your
own posting. If it is important to you to see your posts to the list as well as
posts of others, you can set the 'repro' option to true. Send a message to the
listserv address with the following text in the body of the mail message:
set tbcon repro
Receiving a "cheat sheet" of common commands used to
communicate with Listserv - The Reference Card
This information file has a list of the most common commands
used for communicating with the listserv server. Send a message to the listserv
address with the following text in the body of the mail message:
info refcard
Stopping your mail temporarily (You'll remain subscribed to
the list)
This is a good option if you are going to be on vacation and
don't want your mailbox to become saturated.
Send a message to the listserv address with the following
text in the body of the mail message:
set tbcon nomail
How to re-start your mail
Send a message to the listserv address with the following
text in the body of the mail message:
set tbcon mail
How to receive daily mail as a single mail item (Digests of
messages)
This option is handy if you are a member of many lists and
are tired of being inundated with mail messages. You receive one mail message a
day from the list that begins with a list of the topics and number of replies
followed by a full listing of all the day's mail messages.
Send a message to the listserv address with the following
text in the body of the message:
set tbcon digests
How to receive mail as individual mail items again
Send a message to the listserv address with the following
text in the body of the message:
set tbcon mail
How to get mail archives
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived.
These are most easily viewed and searched at
http://listserv.plattecanyon.com/archives/tbcon.html
You can also get them via email (but this frankly quite
combersome as compared to just using the web). Send a message to the listserv
address with the following text in the body of the message:
index tbcon
Once you receive the list of existing filenames, you can use
the GET command to have the file sent to you. The Database command used on many
listserv machines is not fully implemented on ours yet, so it is of no use.
