1. To subscribe, send an e-mail message to: Example-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) Example-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)
2. To unsubscribe, send an e-mail message to: Example-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) Example-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)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B. PURPOSE
The Aus-Qld-Brisbane-L Mailing List is an e-mail list for genealogical research............on the Brisbane surnames you are researching . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C. TWO VERSIONS TO CHOOSE FROM:
Example-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: Example-L-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe Example-D is for a digest of several accumulated messages to be delivered to your email 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 approximately once a day 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 email message to: Example-D-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D. E-MAIL ADDRESSES TO USE:
There are two separate e-mail addresses to use in order to participate in this list:
1. To send MESSAGES to ALL subscribers on either version of the list use: Example-L@rootsweb.com
2. To send COMMANDS to the computer & SmartList software that runs this list use: Example-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) Example-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
E. SENDING COMMANDS TO SMARTLIST & ROOTSWEB: To subscribe, unsubscribe or make other changes to your mailing list subscription, you will send "commands" to the computer & the SmartList software on RootsWeb. Example-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages) Example-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages)
1. To manage your subscription, send an e-mail message to the address above and use any of the following commands, typed within the body of your e-mail message. Type ONLY one of the commands as it is shown below. Do not add any extra words or lines of text: subscribe unsubscribe get welcome.txt (**When using the "get" command, be sure to include one word in the subject line: archive )
2. Do NOT use a signature file attached to the e-mail message. The software reads your message and tries to answer each command it finds. When it runs across your signature file it gets a bit confused and will send you a message stating something like 'Do not recognize command 'Jones'. Do not recognize command "Smith", etc.

Good Luck & Have Fun!
