To stop incoming mail permanently
and to terminate your subscription, send this message:
     SIGNOFF PARKINSN
to the listserv computer at:
     LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


following are the complete subscription instructions

janet
the pd list elf

ps
please cc me on any message you send to the listserv computer


-------------------------------------------------------
How to Subscribe to the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------

To subscribe, send this 'instruction' message:
     SUBSCRIBE PARKINSN YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME

After you confirm your subscription by return e-mail, you will
start receiving messages as they are posted to the PIEN.

E-mail all 'command' messages to the listserv computer at:
     LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

-------------------------------------------------------
How to Change your Subscription Settings for the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------

There are settings which can change the way your subscription
is managed and there are specific words aka 'commands' aka
that the listserv computer will recognize and respond to. All
'commands' to the computer must be in the 'body' section of your
e-mail message.

Since the listserv computer at the University of Toronto manages
several mailing lists, all commands affecting your subscription
must include the name of the mailing list too.

(The listserv name for the PIEN is PARKINSN - there is no "O")

To request a descriptive list of the 'commands' that the listserv
recognises, simply send the following 'instruction' message:
     HELP

To find out what your subscription settings currently are:
    QUERY PARKINSN

The computer will send back a message to you
listing the current settings with a brief description of each setting

If you have not seen your own messages on the list
you may need to change a setting on your subscription.

One of the default settings for new memberships in regard to
reproducing copies of your own messages in the listmail sent to you is:
     NO REPRO

To change the setting so that you receive copies of your own messages
as well as the other listmail:
     SET PARKINSN REPRO

To change your subscription setting to receive the digest format:
     SET PARKINSN DIGEST

To change your subscription setting back from digest format
to individual messages:
     SET PARKINSN MAIL

To stop the incoming mail temporarily *** [for vacations, etc]:
     SET PARKINSN NOMAIL

To resume incoming mail:
     SET PARKINSN MAIL

[***
This means that you 'miss out' on the mail during your vacation
but if you want to 'catch up' on what you've missed
you can always request old messages from the listserver]

To stop incoming mail permanently and to terminate your subscription:
     SIGNOFF PARKINSN


-------------------------------------------------------
How to Post a Public Message to the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network (PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------

After you have subscribed to the PIEN, to post a 'public'
message for all the other subscribers to read, type your message
in the 'body' area and fill in the 'subject line' with a brief
description of your topic.

E-mail all 'public' messages to the listserv computer at:
     PARKINSN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
