Greyhound-L is a TOPIC-based list. That means you must use an approved TOPIC keyword in the subject line of ALL posts sent to the GH-L.
The approved TOPICS are:
DOGCARE
Nutrition, exercise, improving coat, appearance, weight CHAT Non-serious items: stories, updates, cute incidents, dog naming EVENTS Meet and Greets, Reunion Picnics, Lure Coursing, Shows, tests, trials: announce, results, questions, get togethers HELP Questions for help on behavior, training, etc., esp. for newbies MEDICAL Medical questions or info. Health info./problems TRAINING Anything to do with training, tips, etc., esp. for newbies SPECIAL Pupdates, Special Day-by-day encounters with Greyhounds, Introduction of new adoptees, Lost dogs, Greys needing assistance, Special Needs Dogs, Deaths RESOURCES Greyhound related items, short ads from "non-profit" adoption groups DEBATE Discussions of a more serious nature
New subscribers are automatically set to receive
GH-L mail in Digest format and will therefore receive all TOPICS.
You may elect, however, to tailor your subscription to receive the list
posts as individual pieces of mail and then subscribe to only those TOPICS which interest
you. To do so, you must first set your account to receive list mail as individual
messages:
TO RECEIVE THE LIST AS INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES INSTEAD OF LARGER FILES (Digest) |
Address an email message to:
and in the text of the message say:
SET GREYHOUND-L MAIL
TO EDIT YOUR TOPICS CHOICES |
Address an email message to:
and in the text of the message tell the computer of your desired changes. For example:
SET GREYHOUND-L TOPICS: ALL -CHAT
Means that you will get all list mail except those marked CHAT.
SET GREYHOUND-L TOPICS: ADMIN MEDICAL TRAINING
Means that you will only receive mail with any of these three topics present in the subject line.
SET GREYHOUND-L TOPICS: ALL -OTHER
Means that you will only get mail that has been
labeled with a topic keyword.
