When joining the list, I encourage you to write a message to the list introducing yourself, and announcing your Elkhart County genealogical interests. Also feel free to post even if you've done so in the past. The number of list members is rising: INELKHAR-L INELKHAR-D Nov 01 1998 71 37 Mar 04 1999 96 44 Jan 22 2000 125 45 Apr 02 2000 135 47 All topics are fair game on INELKHAR, as long as they fall within the context of Elkhart County, IN genealogy and history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TWO VERSIONS OF INELKHAR MAILING LIST Same messages, two delivery methods: INELKHAR-L is for individual messages to be delivered to your e-mail address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, you will receive a copy of the message. To subscribe send an e-mail message to: INELKHAR-L-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe INELKHAR-D is for a digest of several accumulated messages to be delivered to your e-mail address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, they are put into a digest to be delivered later. The digest is generated every twenty-four hours and delivered to digest subscribers. This option is handy for people who don't want multiple messages to accumulate in their mail box. To subscribe send an e-mail message to: INELKHAR-D-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNSUBSCRIBING TO INELKHAR To unsubscribe, send an e-mail message to: INELKHAR-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) INELKHAR-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages) In the body include only one word: unsubscribe (Turn OFF your signature file when sending this command) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUBSCRIBING TO INELKHAR To subscribe, send an e-mail message to: INELKHAR-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) INELKHAR-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages) In the body include only one word: subscribe (Turn OFF your signature file when sending this command) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ POSTING TO INELKHAR You must be a subscriber to post to INELKHAR. After you have subscribed, use this address to post messages to everyone on both the INELKHAR-L and INELKHAR-D lists: INELKHAR-L@rootsweb.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHANGING TO DIGEST MODE Digest mode (INELKHAR-D) consists several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to INELKHAR-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode.
