Parkinsn Mail Options Made Easy

[John Cottingham <jcott@xxxxxxxxx>]

Over the years, hundreds and hundreds of people on the Parkinsn list have been 
bewildered with all the instructions on how to manage their mail at the 
listserv. We represent all levels of computer expertise and skill. In reality, 
the longer the time between when we first subscribed and now...we forget how to 
do things.

The Parkinsn Online website now has preconfigured buttons which will handle, 
through your email program, your interactions with the listserv. Once you click 
a button, your email program will open and the correct information is already 
entered. All you do is send it. It is that easy. You or others can subscribe, 
leave the list, suspend Parkinsn Mail, change to digest method of Parkinsn mail 
delivery, receive copies of your Parkinsn postings, or receive acknowledgement 
that your post to Parkinsn was distributed.

Of course, if you haven't looked at the Parkinsn's List Online, you don't know 
that the last 50 messages to the list are available there for reading or 
replying. Links at the bottom of the page send you to Simon Cole's archive 
search pages, Parkinsn's Current Topics Index, Parkinsn's Archive Treasures or 
the world famous Parkinsn's List Drug DataBase.

Everything has a cost. The cost Parkinson's sites are borne by the organization 
or individuals like you and me on limited resources. I am thankful to those who 
share what they have, to make us all stronger.

Perhaps you like others would like to make the Parkinsn List Online their 
starting page in their browser so list mail is the first thing they see when 
they start Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Internet Explorer Instructions:

Open Internet Explorer. Go to the Parkinsn List Online at:



At the top of the Internet Explorer click on the word Tools. Select Internet 
Options. The very top item in the menu that opens is called Homepage. The box 
is blue and has the address of your present homepage. A button is below called 
Use Current. Click that. At the bottom of that page the Apply button is 
activated. Click on the Apply button and then click the OK button.

Close Internet Explorer now and then reopen it. The Parkinsn List Online will 
be the first page you will see when you open Internet Explorer.

Netscape Instructions:

Open Netscape. Go to the Parkinsn List Online at:



At the very top of the browser, click on the word Edit and select preferences.

On the right hand side of the box that opens is a sectioned called Homepage.
Click on the button that says Current Page. Then click on the OK button at the 
bottom.

Close Netscape and reopen. Parkinsn List Online will be there every time you 
open Netscape.

Parkinsn List Online has been available for little over a year now and is 
seeding the wisdom, tribulations and humor to the world. Thank you all for 
contributing.
