please let me know if you have any problems

How to Subscribe to the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
To subscribe, send this 'instruction' message:

After you confirm your subscription by return e-mail, you will
start receiving messages as they are posted to the PIEN.
E-mail all 'instruction' messages to the listserv computer at:

How to Change your Subscription Settings for the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
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 should be in the 'body' section
of your e-mail message; any words in the 'subject line' will be
ignored by the listserv computer.
Since the listserve at the University of Toronto manages several
mailing lists in addition to PARKINSN, all commands affecting your
subscription must include the name of the mailing list too.
(The listserv name for the PIEN is PARKINSN - there is no "O")
To find out what your subscription settings currently are:
QUERY PARKINSN
The computer will send back a message to you listing your current
subscription settings with a brief description of each.
If you have not seen your own messages on the list
you may need to change a one of the settings.
The default setting for new subscriptions in re sending you copies
of the messages that you send to the list membership is: NO REPRO
To change the setting so that you receive reproductions of your own
messages as well as the other listmail:
SET PARKINSN REPRO
To change your subscription setting to receive the digest format:
SET PARKINSN DIGEST
To change your subscription setting back from digest format
to individual messages:
SET PARKINSN MAIL
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 listserver]
To stop incoming mail permanently and to terminate your subscription:
SIGNOFF PARKINSN
-------------------------------------------------------
How to Post a Public Message to the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network (PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
After you have subscribed to the PIEN, to post a 'public'
message for all the other subscribers to read, type your message
in the 'body' area and fill in the 'subject line' with a brief
description of your topic.
E-mail all 'public' messages to the listserv computer at:
