NACHO Listserver Reference Info |
The list is a group of people. Send messages to them at LABSAFETY-L@siu.edu. The listserver is a computer. Send commands to it LISTSERV@SIU.EDU. Commands are sent in the body of an email message. No subject line is expected or necessary. (There is a mailto link at the bottom of this page for email to listserv@siu.edu.) Below are selected commands from the refcard. Send commands to LISTSERV@SIU.EDU, not to the list (this is important - if you send them to the labsafety-L list they will not only not have the result you want, they will litter hundreds of subscribers' in-boxes with your boo-boo). There are pictures linked to the SUB, SIGNOFF, and SET...NOMAIL commands. The complete refcard can be received from the listserver by sending the command info refcard to the listserver. |
