Dear Sheila Danzig: If you want to temporarily turn off your mail from the parkinson's list, you must send the message to [log in to unmask] and not to parkinsn. In the body of the message (no subject) : set parkinsn nomail When you return and want to resume getting your parkinson's mail, send following message to listserv: set parkinsn mail We know this is correct as we just got back from vacation and successfully turned our mail off and back on. Please be aware that when you turn mail back on you will not get any of the messages that were posted to the list while your mail was off. Betti S. Adams [log in to unmask]
