More commands to Medit-Plants
If you wish to make changes to your Medit-Plants subscription, you should write to listproc@ucdavis.edu which is a machine that responds to precise commands, but has no attending human to interpret for it. 

There are several services  listproc can do for you.
If you want to go on holiday without having your mailbox overflow with messages, you can stop messages arriving. You can still post messages. Some people use this option a slightly different way - they have two addresses, which allows them to post from both, but keep one address permanently 'on holiday' so messages go to one address only. Send this command: set medit-plants mail postpone
When you want to resume receiving messages, send this: set medit- plants mail
You can receive a list of all the members with this command: review medit-plants
You can request that all messages sent each day come as one "digest". I think this was originally set up a long time ago when people were allowed only a certain number of messages per day - long before high- speed broadband service. It is still available and sometimes results in enormously long posts, when someone doesn't change the Subject line and delete the long string of messages before they reply to one of the messages. set medit-plants mail digest
If you try that and decide you don't like it, change back to regular mail delivery: set medit-plants mail 

To quit:    unsubscribe medit-plants

To change your address:   This is a two-step process.
First, unsubscribe from your old address.
Then, subscribe from your new one.
If you can't do this because you no longer use your old address, you can write to me and I can change your address for you. I can subscribe and unsubscribe you, but I can't do anything else, and I have no way of seeing whether you get the digest or are on holiday with your mail postponed. 

If you forget my name,  send to    medit-plants-request@ucdavis.edu
