2.    Do not write anything in the subject line.
3.    In the body of the message type:

and deliveries will terminate. In order for commands to work they must be sent from the exact e-mail account from which you are subscribed to CRTNET News. If you have forwarded your mail from another account or if you have a nicknamed e-mail address, these commands will not work.

***********************************************************

III.  Posting a message to CRTNET News

One easy step:  Please send an e-mail letter to crtnet@natcom.org

***********************************************************

IV.  Setting CRTNET News in digest form

Please follow these steps to receive CRTNET News in digest form (one message each day, containing all of the issues for that day):

1.    Send an e-mail message to: listserv@lists1.psu.edu
2.    Do not write anything in the subject line.
3.    In the body of the message type:

        Set crtnet digest
        Quit

You will receive a confirmation of this action.  Note that issues are organized by topic.  If you are only interested in certain topics you may do better by deleting daily the messages in which you are not interested.  Digest form makes you read everything that was sent each day, but it condenses the posts into one (often long) one.

If you have forwarded your mail from another account or if you have a nicknamed e-mail address, these commands will not work.  In such a case, it is better to cancel your subscription (see above) and re-subscribe (see above) upon your return.

The CRTNET News editorial staff can subscribe and remove you from the list by sending a brief message of request to crtnet@natcom.org. However, we cannot keep a log of certain dates when subscribers would like to terminate or resume their service.
