Re: Extended Absence Response: Last day of a month

Hey Teri,

That is the whole POINT of a listserv/newsgroup.

You subscribe to it, and then from then on, you receive EVERY e-mail
that gets sent to the main e-mail address (in this case:
SQR-USERS@list.iex.net).  This listserv is SUPPOSED to be like a very
active discussion of SQR that includes EVERYONE who is subscribed to it.
 (as for those weird 'so and so will be out of the office' messages...
that is just a side-effect of people who have set up an auto-reply for
their e-mail accounts)

It sounds like you didn't realize what you were getting into when you
joined the mailing list.  Here are instructions on how to leave the
mailing list:


You  may leave  the list  at any  time by  sending a  "SIGNOFF
SQR-USERS"
command to LISTSERV@LIST.IEX.NET. You can also tell LISTSERV how you
want
it to confirm the receipt of messages you send to the list. If you do
not
trust the system, send a "SET  SQR-USERS REPRO" command and LISTSERV
will
send  you a  copy of  your own  messages, so  that you  can see  that
the
message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a
while
you  may find  that this  is getting  annoying, especially  if your
mail
program does not  tell you that the  message is from you  when it
informs
you  that  new mail  has  arrived  from SQR-USERS.  If  you  send a
"SET
SQR-USERS  ACK  NOREPRO"   command,  LISTSERV  will  mail   you  a
short
acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your
mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this
is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn
off
acknowledgements completely with "SET SQR-USERS NOACK NOREPRO".


Have a good weekend!

Andrew
