Genius, Sean!

Are there dues or fees; other than the donation button on the FreeLists website?

Subject: the creation of a new M-P list

Hi Folks -

Thanks for your patience.  I have been working on the creation of a new M-P
list that has the 'reply-to' list functionality desired.  Through setting
up test lists and playing with them, I have often discovered little
problems that were undesirable or would lead to an increase in the
maintenance load.  I have finally found a simple, straight forward that I
think will work well.

Unfortunately, to make the transition in the manner I'd prefer, it has been
a bit slow going as I've had to wait on various parties to answer my
questions, etc.  I hope we are close to the end of this setup.

Shortly, I hope to post instructions to this list on how you all can
subscribe to the new list individually.

(There are a number of subscribers currently set to 'nomail' who are
probably unaware of our discussions, so I am planning a process to try and
notify them personally).

Thank you for bearing with this change.  I look forward to resurrection of
this communication forum.

Subject: Instructions to subscribe to the new Medit-Plants list

Hi Folks -

[Please read this message thoroughly and consider saving it somewhere for
future reference]

The new location for this, the Medit-Plants e-mail discussion is now ready
for use.  Below are the subscription instructions for those who wish to
follow the group to the new location.  If you do not wish to continue, you
merely do nothing - this UC Davis location will most likely be turned off
in the near future to avoid confusion.  If at any point you wish to rejoin
the group, you are welcome to join at that time.

When you join, you might check on what the recent discussion might be as
you subscribe (see 'Archives' below).  Please note that the archives will
include messages from the old list as well as this new list, allowing them
to be searched using the same web interface (Many thanks to Christopher
Lindsay of Hort.net for working with me to make this happen!).

Subscribe
To join to the Medit-Plants discussion, send an email to
medit-plants-request@freelists.org with 'subscribe' in the 'subject' field
(please note that this 'request' address should be used ONLY for
subscription management).  You will be sent an automatic response from
e*@freelists.org with instructions about confirming your subscription
request.  After following these instructions, you will receive a welcome
message with information about the group.  When anyone posts a message to
the group, you will then receive that message as an e-mail.

Participate
After your are successfully subscribed, you will receive any new post by
the group's subscribers.  To post your own message to the Medit-Plants
group, send email to m*@freelists.org.  Please be sure that your
'subject' field reflects the topic of your message (an aid to help others
find messages in the Medit-Plants archive).  The volume of Medit-Plants is
relatively low, so you may not receive a message from the group right
away.  Tip - many people create an e-mail 'filter' in their own e-mail to
collect Medit-Plants message into a folder so that then can be easily
browsed.

Attachments
Messages can have attachments (e.g. photos), if you wish.  Please be sure
to use standard file extensions (such as .jpg, .gif, .pdf) that are
accepted by MOST computers as each person will need to be able to open
these files on their unique computer platform.  Freelists.org has a maximum
message size of 5MB (a brief message with two attachments of less than 2MB
will go through).  Along with resizing an image smaller, consider cropping
it to show the details you wish to share in your post.  Attachments are
also archived by Hort.net (see next item).

Archives
To view Medit-Plants archived messages, starting from 1997, visit
https://www.hort.net/lists/medit-plants/.  If you would like to discuss a
message found in the archives, it is helpful to copy/paste the pertinent
lines into your current e-mail along with the message's date and sender
information.  Contact information for subscribers found in the archive may
also be out of date, and the group cannot provide current information for
these subscribers.

Regards,
