It has come to my attention that some of you have not clipped and saved this all-important info and saved it in your Official JoeNet Handbook. There will be a surprise inspection, you have been warned. 1) How do I subscribe *correctly* to JoeNet? Well, if you're reading this, you already know, but you may want to pass this along to some special thermionic someone in your life. Following these instructions exactly will prevent future problems, trust me. Send email to this address : sound-request@lists.io.com with anything you like in the "Subject :" field, and this in the body of the message : subscribe sound <yourownemailaddressgoeshere> Substitute your own email address for <yourownemailaddressgoeshere>. Do not include the "<" and ">" characters. Reply as directed to the confirmation message you will automatically receive. 2) What is the JoeNet Digest? The mail server that distributes the JoeNet posts also creates a digest version. This is a batched version of the same emails that make up the list traffic. Every time x number of characters builds up, an issue of the digest is released to the subscribers of the digest. Pros : fewer messages. Cons : Longer messages (making cut and paste a little more tedious in my experience) and they are not delivered in "real time" : it may take up to two days (almost never this long, usually 1/2 day on average) to build up a message of the designated size. So there may be a delay in seeing an individual message that is positioned near the beginning of its digest message. 3) How do I subscribe *correctly* to JoeNet Digest? Send email to this address : sound-request@lists.io.com with anything you like in the "Subject :" field, and this in the body of the message : subscribe sound-digest <yourownemailaddressgoeshere> Substitute your own email address for <yourownemailaddressgoeshere>. Do not include the "<" and ">" characters. Reply as directed to the confirmation message you will automatically receive. 4) Where is the archive of these JoeNet digest posts? At this URL : http://www.io.com/~ftp/mailing-lists/sound-digest/ Some folks are working on their own, searchable archives but I haven't saved that URL : please chime in. 5) How do I unsubscribe from JoeNet? Send email to this address : sound-request@lists.io.com with anything you like in the "Subject :" field, and this in the body of the message : unsubscribe sound <yourownemailaddressgoeshere> Substitute your own email address for <yourownemailaddressgoeshere>. Do not include the "<" and ">" characters. You will get a confirmation if successful; you need not reply. 6) How do I unsubscribe from the JoeNet Digest?
