Hi all;
I have activated a Topics feature in our LISTSERV software. This can be used to restrict your incoming messages to specific Topic names. You may choose to use it or not, as you wish.
The current Topics available are:
FUN = humour and silliness
LIST = list-business
NEWS = news subject
NONPD = non parkinson's disease subject
PMID = pubmed abstracts
QT = quotes
OTHER = any mail lacking a TOPIC name in the subject header
ALL = all of the above
More Topic names can be added, to a maximum of 23.
Sending Mail:
To use the Topics feature, add the Topic Name to the Subject Header in your message, followed by a colon, and then the subject description [see my subject header above].
Receiving Mail:
To continue receiving all mail as usual, do nothing. At the moment, everyone is set to receive all Topics. [Everyone, that is, other than DIGEST-ers, who comprise 1/3 of our current membership. Topics restrictions only work on regular mail].
To stop receiving NONPD messages send this command message to listserv:
SET PARKINSN TOPICS -NONPD
To stop receiving NONPD and FUN messages send this command:
SET PARKINSN TOPICS -NONPD -FUN
To start receiving FUN messages again send this command:
SET PARKINSN TOPICS +FUN
Note: Topic names need to be used [and spelled] appropriately by listmembers;
any message not "topic-alized" automatically goes into OTHER; this will only work as well as the listmembers want it to.
