[FWDLK] Setting your ForwardLook Subscription Options

["Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Now that summer vacation season is upon us, a lot of you may need to set
your forwardlook mail off for a bit.  More detailed info is at
http://www.ForwardLook.Net/options.html , or the basics are below.

How To Set Your Subscription Options:
*********************************

Simply send a message to LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (not to the list!) with
the command

             SET L-ForwardLook [option1] [option2] [option3]

in the body of the message.  Don't send it to the mailing list -- send
it to LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here's the options that may be set

1)  MAIL/NOMAIL

Setting this option to Mail indicates that you will receive mail from
the list. NOMail is the complementary command that stops mail but leaves
you subscribed to the list. (NOMail is often a good compromise for users
who are leaving the office for vacation or on extended business trips,
and who don't want a full mailbox on their return.) The format of the
messages received is controlled by the DIGEST/INDEX/NODIGEST/NOINDEX
options (see below).

2)  DIGEST/NODIGEST

Causes the subscriber to receive one posting per digest cycle (typically
daily) rather than individual messages as they are processed by
LISTSERV. The MAIL/NOMAIL option controls whether messages should be
delivered, and the DIGEST/INDEX/NODIGEST/NOINDEX option controls the
format in which messages should be delivered. Thus, switching to NOMAIL
and back to MAIL does not destroy the digest/index/normal delivery
setting; it simply determines whether or not LISTSERV should send any
list mail to you. To provide as much compatibility with older syntax as
possible, the four options operate as follows:

 DIGEST:
          enable digest delivery mode (which negates INDEX), enable mail
delivery.
 INDEX:
          enable index delivery mode (which negates DIGEST), enable mail
delivery
 NOMAIL:
          disable mail delivery.
 MAIL:
          restore mail delivery, without altering the
digest/index/normal delivery setting
