Hi Michael, Lisa,
Thanks for emailing assistance with the OSList. Although I'm officially
administering the OSList - because of my limited capacity I'm afraid I
can't provide much assistance. But here are a few tidbits about the
OSList that are usually at the heart of any one's need for help.
1) Google's gmail has a lovely *feature* that it refuses to send you
your own mails to any lists you subscribe to with your gmail account,
thus making it seem like your mails aren't getting through. Thus
prompting confused emails to your list managers that no mail is getting
through. Thus making life harder for *EVERY* list manager like myself.
Thank you mighty lord of the Internet, Google! There may be other mail
providers that also do this. As Lisa said, you can check the archives to
ensure it went through.
2) If your email gets bounced - the bounce mail should tell you why.
Usually it's because you are sending from an unregistered address. Some
email systems use more than one address. Some people just have multiple
addresses. You *MUST* register all addresses you wish to email from. You
can turn off email delivery to all but one of those email addresses so
you don't get multiple copies by using the URL at the bottom of every
OSList email to manage your account. If you lost your password, that URL
*can* be used to retrieve your password.
3) You will get fewer emails if you use the Digest format - but that has
the disadvantage of making it harder to reply to individual posts. You
probably want to get off of digest mode by changing your OSList account
(as in the paragraph above). Or you can just use cut and paste after you
reply to fix the subject of your email and get rid of all the other topics.
Regards,
Harold
P.S. How interesting this technical topic of troubles with the OSList
gets the subject Pain & Anger II.

Dear Bronwyn,
right, I also see your messages.
I also do not get my own posts, even though I selected "Yes" in my
settings for "Receive your own posts to the list?".
Someone then pointed out that certain mailproviders dont allow for this.
But, clicking "Yes" for the option "Receive acknowledgement mail when
you send mail to the list?" results in getting just that eveytime I
send a response. So I can relax.
You can set your options by going to
http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org
Go to the bottom of the page where you enter your email address in the
little box "Unsubscribe or edit options" wich leads you to "your"
membership options. In the upper field it offers you to "Log in" (in
my page the Password is already entered), once you are logged in you
reach a page that has a long list of options you can choose at the end
of the page.
Have a great day

Hi, Bronwyn - absolutely no bug with your registration - the OSLIST is
self-registering, and you are on it.
Some people cannot see their own postings on the OSLIST system (some?
everyone?) but you can always look in the archives to be sure.
You recently also put in a request to register on the ning site, which
is a site *different* than this big circle. The ning site is often used
for people who have specific non-English language conversations - though
if anyone writes anything in a non-English language here on the OSLIST,
I love the fact that there is always someone who replies in that
language.
Artur (Portugal), Shufang (Taiwan) and I (USA) set up that ning site for
those lovely different-than-English-speakers groups. We process new
members' requests one by one - to prevent spamming / junk mail. You are
now in the ning group as well.
Welcome to all of it!

My apologies starting a new string - there seems to be a bug with my
registration as I cannot respond to individual comments (or just don't
know how...).
Thank you to all who provided feedback. There is some pretty
consistent messaging there about the need for ownership moving higher
in the organisation (than the person who initiated it).
With kind regards, Bronwyn
