How to Subscribe to the
Parkinson's Disease Information Exchange Network {PDIEN):

How to Change your Subscription Settings for the
Parkinson's Disease Information Exchange Network {PDIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
There are various settings which can change the way your subscription
is managed and there are specific words aka 'commands' aka
'instructions' that the listserv computer will recognize and
respond to. All 'instructions' to the computer must be in the
'body' section of your e-mail message. Leave the 'subject line' blank.
Since the listserv computer at the University of Toronto manages
several mailing lists, all commands affecting your subscription
must include the name of the mailing list too.
(The listserv name for the PDIEN is PARKINSN - there is no "O")
To request a descriptive list of the 'commands' that the listserv
recognises, simply send the following 'instruction' message:
HELP
To find out what your subscription settings currently are:
QUERY PARKINSN
To change your subscription setting to receive the digest format:
SET PARKINSN DIGEST
To stop the incoming mail temporarily *** [for vacations, etc]:
SET PARKINSN NOMAIL
To resume incoming mail:
SET PARKINSN MAIL
***
this means that you 'miss out' on the mail during your vacation
but if you want to 'catch up' on what you've missed you can
always request old messages from the listserv computer.
