I have taken care of this request and I am happy to do so for any who wish
me to do it, but please contact me off-list about this sort of request.
Probably this information should have been included in the list, but here's
a message I sent out in late July about how to do this for yourself:
Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2000 08:37:31 -0400
To: Biblical Greek <b-greek at franklin.oit.unc.edu>
From: "Carl W. Conrad" <cwconrad at artsci.wustl.edu>
Subject: [b-greek] How to Change your own B-Greek mail settings
During the past two months I've received several requests to change the
mail status for list-members who will be away from their e-mail while on
vacation or for other reasons. I am happy to do this upon request but it is
something that any member can do for him/herself and that I encourage you
to do for yourselves. The only reason why anyone should have difficulty is
a forgotten password selected too long ago to remember (something that
happens to me even from yesterday). So here are the instructions
1. Go to B-Greek Mailing List web page:
http://franklin.oit.unc.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=b-greek&text_mode=0
2. There you are asked to type your e-maill address (e.g.
cwconrad at artsci.wustl.edu) into the first box, your password into the box
below. If you did not choose a password when you became a list-member you
may ignore this and go on to the next step; if you did choose a password
and have forgotten it, you'll have to ask me: I can retrieve it for you and
send it to you by e-mail.
3. Then click on "Click here to enter b-greek". This will take you to a
page showing four boxes:
"Read Messages"
"Create a New Message"
"Your Settings"
"Leave (unsubscribe)"
and below those is a box to type in an entry for searching the B-Greek
archives (messages since June 1998 when the list moved to this site).
4. Click on "Your Settings": this will open a page entitled "Edit your
Member Settings on b-greek."
This will show several items :
--Your e-mail address
--Your full name
--Your password (shown in black dots)
--Your password (as retyped originally to confirm it)
--"Status" pop-up menu allowing you to choose between four options
for receiving B-Greek messages; you must choose one of these and it will
then show on the screen after you have selected it.:
a. mail: receive messages as they are contributed
b. digest: one daily message with all the contributions for that day
c. index: one daily message with only the subject lines for that day
d. nomail: receive no messages from this mailing list
--"See your messages" pop-up menu allowing you to choose whether
you want to
a. see your own messages (i.e. receive a distribution copy of
messages you have sent)
b. not to see your own messages
--"Acknowledgement" pop-up menu: gives you the choice (yes/no) of
whether to receive an acknowledgement of distribution of your message to
the list
5. At the bottom of the page there are three boxes:
a. Save (save changes you have made)
b. Reset (return to default settings rather than any that you have set)
c. Do not save (do not save any changes you've typed in while
currently on this page)
Click on any one of these boxes to return to the main B-Greek Menu.
