Before you go, we'd like to make you aware of some alternatives to
signing off...
- You can stop mail delivery temporarily by setting No Mail
Mode (See Below for How). This is an excellent option if you will be
away from your computer for a few days or a few weeks.
- You can use Digest Mode to get only one
message a day from the list. Digest Mode sends you one big message
each day containing all of the day's messages. See below for how to set digest
mode.
- If the number of messages is overwhelming your inbox, another option
is to set a filter in your email program so that all
of the list mail goes into a special folder. That way you won't need to hunt
for your other important mail among mail from the list.
- If you'd like to be able to participate without getting any mail
from the list, you can set No Mail Mode (See Below for How) and
still read the list using the archives. You can
still post when you are nomail.
.
The Short Instructions
Send a e-mail message to:
listserv@listserv.acor.org
Leave the subject line blank and on the first line of the message type:
unsubscribe from the List list
For information on other options and ways to sign-off see below.
Unsubscribing with a Web Form
You can modify or delete your subscription from the
ACOR List Subscription Form.
The form will require you to enter your e-mail address and you must use
the exact same e-mail address you used when you subscribed. You after
you submit the form, you will receive a confirmation message from the
listserver. You will need to reply to this message to complete processing of
the command. Follow the instructions in the confirmation message
carefully!
Unsubscribing Manually and Setting the Digest and No Mail Modes
Sending Commands to the Listserver
You control your subscription by sending e-mail messages to a special
e-mail address. These messages are read by the listserver program
which will then process the command.
This address is not the same as the address for posting messages to
the list. If you send to that address you will not execute a listserv command
but you will send a message to over 600 listmembers. This address is also
not the same as the address for contacting the listowners. Sending to
the listowner contact address will only send a message to the listowners; it
will not change your subscription
The address for sending e-mail commands to the listserv is:
listserv@listserv.acor.org
In all cases the command itself is placed in the body of the message on
a line by itself, not in the subject field. If you send a "signature"
at the bottom of each e-mail you should turn it off or delete the text as
these lines will be interpreted as listserv commands and will generate
errors.
The listserver will respond to each command message, usually within
a few minutes. Normally, this message confirms your command was processed
successfully, but if there was a problem processing your command, the
listerver's response will let you know
Unsubscribing
To unsubscribe send:
unsubscribe List
Using the DIGEST and NOMAIL commands
If you want to stop mail temporarily send to the same address:
set List nomail
And when you want mail to start again:
set List mail
You can also set List to digest mode so you
get one big messag each day. To do this send:
set List digest
To set it back to individual message mode:
set List nodigest

Reply to all confirmation messages as needed, and most importantly sign-off
from the exact same address you subscribed from. If you are having
