E-Mail Discussion Lists
ACCIS members may subscribe to two e-mail discussion lists -- a general discussion list and one for new counselors. Joining the discussion assumes acceptance of the User Agreement.
eList: General discussion list for all college counseling topics.
newcounselors: Dedicated to topics for those new to college counseling.
The commands below should be placed in the body of the message, not in the subject line. Commands should only be sent to listserv@accisnet.org, not to the e-mail lists.
Subscribe
To subscribe, send the following command by e-mail to listserv@accisnet.org:
subscribe elist FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
OR
subscribe newcounselors FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
Send A Message
After your subscription has been approved you may send and reply to e-mail messages at these addresses:
eList: elist@accisnet.org
newcounselors: newcounselors@accisnet.org
Change Options
The default setting is to receive individual e-mail messages. This option works best for most people.
Messages can be grouped into a Digest. The format of the Digest can be a problem, particularly for users of the First Class e-mail system. Try out each format to see which one works best for you.
To change to Digest format, send one of the following messages by e-mail to listserv@accisnet.org. Substitute "newcounselors" for "elist" for the newcounselors discussion list.
set elist NOMIME DIGEST
[Plain text messages]
set elist NOHTML MIME DIGEST
[Messages with rich text MIME format]
set elist HTML DIGEST
[Messages with full HTML formatting]
To change from Digest back to individual messages, send this command to listserv@accisnet.org:
set elist NODIGEST
Temporary Stop
You can also temporarily suspend messages by using this command:
set elist NOMAIL
To resume messages, send the following command by e-mail:
set elist MAIL
Unsubscribe
To unsubscribe from a list, send the following message by e-mail:
unsubscribe elist
Search
To search the archives for messages, send the following message by e-mail where [word] is the search word(s):
search elist [word]
