SEMLS will be making changes to its electronic discussion list Friday, April 17 as we move to a new mailing list manager.
The new list manager will provide you, as subscribers, with more options:
- formatted e-mail, not just plain-text
- attachments
- a Web-based interface for managing your access • more delivery options, including daily and weekly digests.
- stopping and re-starting mail, and going on “vacation.”
- mail archive and mail search integrated into manager • manage multiple list subscriptions with one login.
CHANGES:
When you send a new message to the SEMSL list (starting Friday), please send it to: semls@mblc.state.ma.us.
When you receive messages they will usually be in the form: semls-owner@mblc.state.ma.us ; on behalf of; Sender [Sender’s e-mail.] The subject of each message will contain the string: [semls] so that you can set up automatic mail handling rules if you desire in your e-mail program.
If you want to, you will be able to establish a Web login at: http://mblc.state.ma.us/sympa by selecting the “First login?” link. This step is NOT necessary to continue to send and receive e-mail from the list.
The current SEMLS list will temporarily stop taking new subscribers on Thursday. SEMLS members can start subscribing to the list again when we cut over to the new list on Friday.
The other regions in the state have not all moved to the new system yet. In the meantime, please continue to send your statewide messages to allregions@mlin.lib.ma.us. We will let you know when this address will change. At the same time, please do not send attachments to the All Regions list until we notify you that they are able to accept attachments.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Kathy Lussier at klussier@semls.org
