Subject: [Ohio-birds] The New Mailing List


Welcome to the new Ohio-birds mailing list. Since you're reading this 
message, it must be up and working!

As far as reading messages, you shouldn't notice much in the way of 
changes. One change is that the subject line will begin with a marker, 
[Ohio-birds] , that will make it obvious that the message is coming from

this mailing list.

To send a message to the list, address it to 
[log in to unmask] and not to the old address, 
[log in to unmask], which won't work any more. Other than the 
address change, posting messages to the list will work just as it always

has.

You won't notice the biggest difference in the two lists unless you want

to change settings, such as whether you get individual messages or one 
big message a day, whether you get copies of the messages you send to 
the list, etc. The old list was run by the mailman program, and the new 
list is run by the listserv program. If you're comfortable with using 
listserv commands, send them to [log in to unmask] For 
everyone else, you can configure how you receive messages by going to 
the web site at 
http://listserv.muohio.edu/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=OHIO-BIRDS 
(capitalization matters here). Click on the link that says "Join or 
leave the list (or change settings)" and then fill in the form on the 
next screen.

I want to thank Miami University for hosting our new mailing list. I 
would particularly like to thank two people there: Mark Boardman,the 
Director of the Institute of Environmental Sciences, is our list 
sponsor, which means that he was the person responsible for getting us 
permission to get this list started at Miami. And Bill Heck, also a 
staff member at Miami and long-time member of OOS, is the person who 
actually got the job done, by taking the initiative of finding us a 
sponsor and doing the rest of the administrative grunt work. Thanks to 
you both!
