< You have been added to the RRGA-L mailing list (RTO West Congestion Model
< Content Group) by Keith Dalia <kadalia@BPA.GOV<.
<
< Please save this message for future reference, especially if this is the
< first time you subscribe to an electronic mailing list. If you ever need
< to leave the list, you will find the necessary instructions below.
< Perhaps more importantly, saving a copy of this message (and of all
< future subscription notices from other mailing lists) in a special mail
< folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
< are subscribed to. This may prove very useful the next time you go on
< vacation and need to leave the lists temporarily so as not to fill up
< your mailbox while you are away! You should also save the "welcome
< messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after
< subscribing to a new list.
<
< To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list,
< just send mail to RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. This is called "sending mail
< to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV
< makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address
< (RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG) is also called the "list address". You must
< never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed
< to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the
< "LISTSERV address", LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. It is very
< important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately
< it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number that
< connects you to a machine, whereas the list address is like a normal
< voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the
< FAX number when you wanted to talk to someone on the phone, you will
< quickly realize that you used the wrong number and call again. No harm
< will have been done. If on the other hand you accidentally make your FAX
< call someone's voice line, the person receiving the call will be
< inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The
< fact that most people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the
< voice line to allow the FAX to go through and make the calls stop does
< not mean that you should continue to send FAXes to the voice number.
< People would just get mad at you. It works pretty much the same way with
< mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or
< thousands of people at the same time, and consequently you can expect a
< lot of people to get upset if you consistently send commands to the list
< address.
<
< You may leave the list at any time by sending a "SIGNOFF RRGA-L" command
< to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. 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 RRGA-L 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 RRGA-L. If you send a "SET RRGA-L 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 RRGA-L NOACK NOREPRO".
<
< Following instructions from the list owner, your subscription options
< have been set to "NOFILES REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults.
< For more information about subscription options, send a "QUERY RRGA-L"
< command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG.
<
< Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
< list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX RRGA-L" command
< to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. You can then order these files
< with a "GET RRGA-L LOGxxxx" command, or using LISTSERV's database search
< facilities. Send an "INFO DATABASE" command for more information on the
< latter.
<
< This list is available in digest form. If you wish to receive the
< digested version of the postings, just issue a SET RRGA-L DIGEST command.
<
< Please note that it is presently possible for other people to determine
< that you are signed up to the list through the use of the "REVIEW"
< command, which returns the e-mail address and name of all the
< subscribers. If you do not want your name to be visible, just issue a
< "SET RRGA-L CONCEAL" command.
<
< More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the LISTSERV
< reference card, which you can retrieve by sending an "INFO REFCARD"
< command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG.
