Below is what the welcome message looks like PLEASE take the time to read it.

Welcome to the DOVER mailing list! You are currently subscribed in

"mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made

to DOVER as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to

digest mode are given below.

1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to

DOVER-L-request@rootsweb.com

that contains (in the body of the message) the command

unsubscribe

and no additional text. TURN OFF YOUR SIGNATURE FILE

2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd

not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance,

if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you

want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to

DOVER-L-request@rootsweb.com.

3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and

sent to you together as a single large message). There are two

steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to

DOVER-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second,

send the command "subscribe" to DOVER-D-request@rootsweb.com

to start receiving digests.

4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode.

All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe

when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them

to start again, simply subscribe again.

5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing

list receives it, just send it to DOVER-L@rootsweb.com. It

will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode.

You don't need to send it explicitly to both.
