Other Subscriber Commands

You can modify your listserv settings via a web page at Kent State University. To do this, go to: http://listserv.kent.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=dorothyl. Passwords can be anything you want but you must supply a working e-mail address and you must confirm the password e-mail that Listserv sends you.

Please note all of these commands rely on the address under which you are subscribed.
If your address changes or if your mailer identifies your address differently, these commands will not work. If they fail, send e-mail to one of the moderators who will advise you what you need to do - No Worries (smiling disarmingly).

MAIL - will change your subscription from nomail or digest format to individual email format. If the digest is too large for your system to handle, this is a good alternative.

  1. To set your subscription to MAIL:
  2. Send an email message to listserv@listserv.kent.edu
  3. The message must read only: set DorothyL mail

QUERY  - requests LISTSERV to tell you whether or not you are subscribed to DorothyL.

  1. If your address does not EXACTLY match the address you subscribed under, Listserv will tell you that you are not subscribed.
  2. Send an email message to listserv@listserv.kent.edu
  3. Your message must read only: query DorothyL

REVIEW - The moderators have opted to restrict REVIEW of the list to The moderators only.

If you need help tracking down another subscriber's address, please send e-mail to one of the moderators.

NOMAIL will temporarily suspend DorothyL. You will want to do this when you go on vacation or need a break from DorothyL, but do not want to complelely unsubscribe.

  1. To set your subscription to NOMAIL, send an email message to listserv@listserv.kent.edu
  2. The message must read only: set DorothyL nomail
  3. When you want to start receiving DorothyL again, you'll need to send a message to set DorothyL to MAIL (individual emails) or DIGEST (full digest version), whichever you prefer, as described on this page.

DIGEST will change your subscription from nomail or individual emails to digest format.

  1. Send an email message to listserv@listserv.kent.edu
  2. The message must read only: set DorothyL digest

INDEX will send you a list of DorothyL weekly logs of messages during specific time periods (logs are kept for several months).

  1. Send an email message to listserv@listserv.kent.edu
  2. The message must read only: index DorothyL

GET DOROTHYL.FILES will send a list of available archived files (or view them online).

  3. For more info about retrieving individual files, see the Files and Compilations page on this site
