Help with the Mailing
List The PIE mailing list is for anyone interested in topics
related to Italian genealogy. While many of the topics are specific to
Italian
genealogy, there is also discussion related to Italy in general. Everyone
should read
Tips for being a good list member
- Netiquette, copyright information, acceptable use
*ALL List Members PLEASE READ * - New mail server address This
page has information on:
where to go
if all else fails
To send mail to people on
the pie mailing list, send mail to the address
pie@lists.jsoft.com *note new list address*
and your message will go to everyone currently
subscribed to the
mailing list. Be sure to use a meaningful subject line in your message.
The message will also show
up on the
archive which are available to member's only. Click here
for details. To subscribe to the pie mailing list, send mail
to the address
pie-request@lists.jsoft.com *note our new request address*
and put the following in the subject line:
subscribe pie Or you can subscribe
directly from
this website Only
list members can post to the list, so please subscribe with whatever
address you plan on sending your posts from most often. You
will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to confirm
your subscription. Follow instructions and soon you will be getting
e-mail
with the rest of us. There is also a digest version
of pie if you do not read your
mail often and are concerned about getting "mailbox full" errors.
In the digest version, you still receive the
same messages but instead of them being sent to you one at a time, they
are bundled together
as one big message on a periodic basis. To
subscribe to the digest version, check the digest setting on your
subscriber request when you do it from the mailman website
To
unsubscribe, send a message to
pie-request@lists.jsoft.com,
with the
following in the subject line:
unsubscribe password
you will need your
password reminder. or you can unsubscribe via the
mailman website
If that doesn't work, you can try using the
message:
unsubscribe pie <the
address you subscribed with> and if that
doesn't work, send me some e-mail. If you find that you
suddenly stop getting mail from the list, it may be that your e-mail is
bouncing
and that you have been removed from the list. Simply re-subscribe to
pie when things are back to normal. Some suggestions
about posting: Please put a subject line in
all your posts. The Subject: will have [pie] in it someplace, making
it easier for you to filter and the archive can do a better job of
building
the threads if the Subject is there. Consider putting your
e-mail
address at the bottom of your post. Some strange looking addresses get
generated as the mail works its way through the Internet. Some readers
actually strip out the headers and the person has no idea who the post
is from if there is no signature in the body of the message. It makes
it easier for people to send you an individual reply also.
When quoting other
people's posts,
make sure NOT to include their header information and try to put the
quote at the end of your post. If you put it at the start, your message
may get rejected as duplicate. try something like:
John Smith
<jsmith@computer.com>

your quote and only quote the relevant portions
of their message. The list software tries to filter
out some administrative requests. If you send a message that has 'help
with the list' or 'subscribe' or some other combination of words it's
looking for in the first few lines of your message, your message will
be passed on to me and I will have to forward it to the list when
I get around to it. When all else fails, send me some e-mail and tell me what's
going on. I hope you enjoy pie as much as I do. Let
me know if there is
anything else I can do. Last updated January 5,
