(dates back to the days when 8 characters were the maximum allowed in a File Name) So it has to be PARKINSN with no O and no S... ________________________________________________________________________ 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) I'll paste John's latest posting below.... ------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: Sat, 7 Oct 2000 07:11:04 -0500 From: John Cottingham <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Parkinsn Mail Options Made Easy-Periodic Posting CHANGING YOUR PARKINSN MAIL OPTIONS: The P-I-E-N-O Parkinsn Online website 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. When you run your mouse over each button an explaination of each is displayed. Experiment with the "Send me my Parkinsn Mail Settings" button. 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. http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com Follow the link to Parkinsn Online. ******************************************************************* 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.
