Remember that we have migrated from the Listproc to the Listserv email management software program. Commands to Listproc will no longer work. Also, Listserv is very strict about kicking people off the list after 4 days if messages bounce for any reason including a full mailbox, a spam setting at your institution, or if you let your account temporarily go inactive. We have lost over 100 members on the listserv for this reason since we migrated from Listproc, so tell any of your colleagues that this might have happened to that they will need to re-subscribe.
Our ETD-L mailing list (List for the Engineering Technology Division of
ASEE) is moderated by me, “Walter W. Buchanan,” <buchananw@NEO.TAMU.EDU>, and you can email me at this address if you have any problems.
Here is some important information about your subscription, which we recommend that you preserve for future reference. Having this information available will make it easier to recognize all the lists to which you are subscribed and in case you want to unsubscribe or temporary disable mail delivery.
* The name of the list: ETD-L
* The LISTSERV host name: LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU
The following email addresses are used for the specified purposes:

* To send commands to the LISTSERV server:LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU

***********************************
* SETTING A SERVER-LEVEL PASSWORD *
***********************************
If you do not already have a password for the LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU server, we recommend that you set one now. A LISTSERV password is linked to your subscribed address and is valid for all lists to which you are subscribed on the LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU server. The same password can be used for email commands as well as for access to the web interface for the lists to which you are subscribed.
To set your password for this server, visit:
http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?GETPW1=.
*****************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV VIA THE WWW *
*****************************************
Subscription settings and preferences can be set using LISTSERV’s web interface. Once you have set a server password as explained above, you may log in and set your preferences at:
http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ETD-L.
Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can access the list archives at:
http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=ETD-L.
You may need to log in to view the archives.
**************************************
* INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV BY EMAIL *
**************************************
You may leave the list at any time by sending a SIGNOFF ETD-L command to:
LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU, or by sending a blank email to:
ETD-L-signoff-request@LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU.
You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm the receipt of messages that you send to the list. To send yourself a copy of your own messages, send a SET ETD-L REPRO command.
Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send you a short acknowledgement instead of the entire message, send a SET ETD-L ACK NOREPRO command. Finally, you can turn off acknowledgements completely with the SET ETD-L NOACK NOREPRO command.
This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the digested version of the postings, then issue a SET ETD-L DIGEST command.
You can also set the digest delivery option on the list subscription page
at: http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ETD-L.
Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options have been set to “SUBJECTHDR” rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults.
For more information about subscription options, send a QUERY ETD-L command to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.TAMU.EDU.
You may also check your current settings on the list subscription page
at: http://listserv.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=ETD-L.
More information on the tools and options available for list subscribers
