Prospect-L Listserv
Welcome the Prospect-L listserv! This is a venue to communicate
informally and quickly about news you think will interest the Prospect
membership (and others who may decide to subscribe). You might send a
notice about a recent book you want to recommend or react to, about a conference
in your area, about a study group or inquiry group that is forming, about political or legal actions related to education.
We would also like to encourage you to post longer entries on the weblog at
<http://www.prospectcenter.org/> or
to comment on others' entries.
Here are the ways to send a message, unsubscribe, subscribe, or retrieve a message from listserv archive.
Messages to the list address itself are sent to all subscribers and should
never be used for administrative requests. If you have forgotten everything,
send a message to
prospect-L-help@prospectcenter.org for the list
prospect-L@prospectcenter.org.
If the instructions returned do not help you solve the problem, send a message
to
prospect-L-owner@prospectcenter.org for human help, forwarding a message
from the list and including any relevant information.
If you want to interact administratively with the mailing list
prospect-L@prospectcenter.org,
send an empty message (contents and subject are ignored) to
prospect-L-command@prospectcenter.org, replacing ``command'' with the
desired command. For some commands, you can add arguments. Here are a few
examples, which will be discussed further below:
To send a message:
Address your email to
prospect-L@prospectcenter.org.
The email will be sent to everyone who subscribes to the list.
To subscribe:
prospect-L-subscribe@prospectcenter.org
Subscribe me. Prospect-L will send you a confirmation request, and once you
reply to it a message confirming that you are a subscriber.
To subscribe an email address different than the one you are using:
prospect-l-subscribe-user=gol.com@prospectcenter.org
Subscribe user@gol.com. Here the default
subscriber address (the one you send from) is overridden by an argument to the
-subscribe command. To subscribe any address of type
user.name@host.dom just replace the
``@'' in the address with ``='' and add it after a hyphen to the command. In
this case
prospect-l-subscribe-user.name=host.dom@prospectcenter.org. Of course, ezmlm
will ask user.name@host.dom to confirm
the request.
To unsubscribe:
prospect-l-unsubscribe@prospectcenter.org
Unsubscribe me. Prospect-L will send a confirmation request to your address and
remove the address once you reply.
To unsubscribe an email address different than the one you are using:
prospect-l-unsubscribe-user=gol.com@prospectcenter.org
Unsubscribe user@gol.com.
To retrieve a message from the archive:
prospect-l-get.123@prospectcenter.org
Get message 123 from the archive. If you specify a number that is larger than
the highest message number in the archive, you'll receive the latest message.
