I want to thank those who followed the directions and disabled the
production of html code in their email programs. That fact, in addition to
the listserv stripping code from the messages before distributing them, MAY
cut down on the weekly virus alerts on Parkinsn.
Each subscriber needs to have an anti-virus program running on their
computer and update the virus definitions at least once a month.
It had been suggested, by several, that we include sign-off instructions at
the bottom of the messages. We have now done that.
Occasionally I receive notification of an error trapped by the listserv by
someone trying to send the listserv commands to Parkinsn rather than the
listserv. It is not a big deal...even I do it from time to time..:) Don't
worry about it.
If your email program includes the header information at the top of you
quotemarked text, it probably will not be distributed by the listserv.
Instead, those posted, are trapped as errors. TO: Subject: From: are
reserved words and should be preceded with a quote character if you include
them in your follow-up to a posting.
>To: Someone@somewhere
>Subject: Something important to me
>From: [log in to unmask]
The above is proper. If the > or some other character does not precede those
reserved words, the listserv may not distribute your posting.
Ocassionally, I receive bounce notices because someone has a full mailbox
and their ISP bounces each list message to them, back as an error message.
As a matter of policy, I generally set your subscription to NOMAIL. When you
eventually download your mail and empty your mailbox, you will not receive
further Parkinsn messages until you send the following command to the
listserv.
Address a message to:
[log in to unmask]
In the body of the message put:
set parkinsn mail
That will turn your Parkinsn mail back on.

PARKINSON'S MEETING CALENDAR
As a service to the world-wide Parkinson's community, P-I-E-N-O maintains a
updatable Calendar. Groups and organizations can use the Calendar to
announce their meetings or seminars, free of charge, up to a year in
advance. The Calendar is accessable at the P-I-E-N-O page or the Parkinsn
mail listing page. Days highlighted in yellow contain information about an
event or meeting. Clicking on that date will reveal the event. Next month
Kathryanne Holden announces her appearances. Any event will appear at all
P-I-E-N-O locations.
The linked Calendar locations are at:
