All you need to do is send a two word message to the Listserv. To: [log in to unmask] Subject: leave blank Body: SIGNOFF PARKINSN Just 2 words, no signature, no subject, and send it to the [log in to unmask] NOT to [log in to unmask] (PARKINSN is for E-Mail Posts; LISTSERV is for Commands) It is pretty simple, but computers are not intuitive, so it must be exactly as stated........ all the best ......... murray Ps: Alternately, you could go to John Cottingham's site and just click on the SIGNOFF button.... (Remove My Name From PARKINSN Please) The site is: http://www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network- online.com/parkmail/maillist.html Now what if someone wants to Subscribe?

Use the computer that you want signed onto the List (the LISTSERV software automatically knows where to send the mail) PS: Alternately, you could go to John Cottingham's site AT: http://www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network- online.com/parkmail/maillist.html and just scroll down and click on the SUBSCRIBE button.... (Subcribe to PARKINSN Now) For the real full tutorial you could go to Janet's web page at: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/5th/basics.html and read at your leisure... the subscriptions - the basics subscription instructions: - the short version subscription instructions: - the long version Or..... you could read John Cottingham's subscription tutorial at: http://www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network- online.com/parkmail/sub.html There are most of the options (there's also Simon's site) http://james.parkinsons.org.uk/parkinsn.htm Now what could be easier than that???? We can make a difference! ...... murray **************************************************************** In addition there have been several posts from John Cottingham... Date sent: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 23:31:26 -0500 Send reply to: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network <[log in to unmask]> From: John Cottingham <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Parkinsn Mail Options Made Easy-Periodic Posting To: [log in to unmask] Over the years, hundreds and hundreds of people on the Parkinsn list have been bewildered with all the instructions on how to manage their mail at the listserv. We represent all levels of computer expertise and skill. In reality, the longer the time between when we first subscribed and now...we forget how to do things. Those of you that are experienced read anyway, there is new stuff here. The Parkinsn Online website now has preconfigured buttons which will handle, through your email program, your interactions with the listserv. Once you click a button, your email program will open and the correct information is already entered. All you do is send it. It is that easy. You or others can subscribe, leave the list, suspend Parkinsn Mail, change to digest method of Parkinsn mail delivery, receive copies of your Parkinsn postings, or receive acknowledgement that your post to Parkinsn was distributed. Of course, if you haven't looked at the Parkinsn's List Online, you don't know that the last 500 messages to the list are available there for reading or replying. Links at the bottom of the page send you to Simon Cole's archive search pages, Parkinsn's Current Topics Index, Parkinsn's Archive Treasures or the world famous Parkinsn's List Drug DataBase. You CANNOT get a virus downloaded into your machine if you read your parkinsn messages at P-I-E-N-O. NEW P-I-E-N-O FEATURES: Simon Coles has permitted P-I-E-N-O to put the search box for the Parkinsn Archives on the maillist page and also the Parkinsn's Current Topics Index page. Instructions are right there just click on the appropriate help. You can search the entire P-I-E-N-O site which includes the last 500 messages. This is updated every few days. Everything has a cost. The cost of Parkinson's sites are borne by the organization or individuals like you and me on limited resources. I am thankful to those who share what they have, to make us all stronger. Perhaps you like others would like to make the Parkinsn List Online their starting page in their browser so list mail is the first thing they see when they start Internet Explorer or Netscape. Internet Explorer Instructions: Open Internet Explorer. Go to the Parkinsn List Online at: http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network- online.com/parkmail/maillist. html NOTE: If you click on the above link and it doesn't work..it is because it has to be all on one line. If it is wrapped..it may not work. Alternatively, http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com is shorter. Just find your way to the Parkinsn's List Messages page. At the top of the Internet Explorer click on the word Tools. Select Internet Options. The very top item in the menu that opens is called Homepage. The box is blue and has the address of your present homepage. A button is below called Use Current. Click that. At the bottom of that page the Apply button is activated. Click on the Apply button and then click the OK button. Close Internet Explorer now and then reopen it. The Parkinsn List Online will be the first page you will see when you open Internet Explorer. Netscape Instructions: Open Netscape. Go to the Parkinsn List Online at: http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network- online.com/parkmail/maillist. html At the very top of the browser, click on the word Edit and select preferences. On the right hand side of the box that opens is a sectioned called Homepage. Click on the button that says Current Page. Then click on the OK button at the bottom. Close Netscape and reopen. Parkinsn List Online will be there every time you open Netscape. Parkinsn List Online has been available for little over a year now and is seeding the wisdom, tribulations and humor of the Parkinsn List to the world. Thank you all for contributing.
