SEELANGS Administrivia - Auto Replies

[Alex Rudd]

Dear SEELangers,

I don't think I've mentioned this topic in any previous post
to the list.

When I posted a message to SEELANGS just a few minutes ago,
it was delivered to all of you.  One of you is away, out of
the office until April 4th.  I learned this fact when that
person's e-mail program responded to my post with an "Auto
Reply," an automated message also sometimes known as a
"vacation message."

Please, if you're going to be away from e-mail for any length
of time, and you feel the need to set an Auto Reply message
to advise your friends and colleagues who write to you of
that fact, don't also burden each list member who posts to
SEELANGS.

Many Auto Reply features are configurable, such that you can
set them not to respond to messages fitting certain criteria
(e.g., where the "To:" address contains SEELANGS at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU).
If yours is not that flexible, then before you depart and leave
that Auto Reply program running, remember to tell LISTSERV to stop
sending you SEELANGS mail while you're gone.  That's easily done
(and the procedure is described in the Welcome message).

In fact, if I do post to the list and am sent such an Auto
Reply, to spare the rest of you I will set the affected member
to NOMAIL, which instructs LISTSERV not to send list mail to
that subscriber temporarily.  If this happens to you (as it has
to a couple of people lately), all you need to do to resume
delivery of list mail is to set yourself back to MAIL.  Again,
that procedure is in the Welcome message.

If you find yourself in need of your own copy of the SEELANGS
Welcome message, simply send the command:

GET WELCOME SEELANGS

in the body of e-mail to:  LISTSERV at LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

You can also find it on our Web site.  The URL is below.

Many thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.

Regards,

- Alex, list owner of SEELANGS    seelangs-request at listserv.cuny.edu
