Hello All, We're going to be making some changes to the list, and Albert asked that I post an informational message here to explain what's going to happen and why.
Tomorrow evening sometime, the reefkeeping list will be switched over to run on new mail list software. The change will be MOSTLY transparent, but there are some differences that you need to be aware of: 1) The email address to post to the list will change to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For a little while, we'll forward the old [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the new list, but ultimately, you'll need to start using the new address. 2) The unsubscribe address is different -- to unsubscribe from the new lists you'll have to send a message to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] As always, unsubscribe instructions will be included on every message. 3) The digest format is slightly different, but not so much that you'll have trouble with it. As always, there will be a table of contents at the top (now arranged by thread), with the actual messages following. One nice feature is that the new list manager is able to strip out HTML if someone accidently posts an HTML message to the list, so the digests will be MUCH cleaner! :) Digests will still be issued twice a day, but they'll shift from 8:00am and 8:00pm to noon and midnight. 4) A big benefit from our side of the list is that the new software will automatically handle bounce messages and remove bad addresses. The software is smart enough not to remove you for a single bounce -- the entire process from the first bounce to removal takes a couple of weeks, so you don't have to worry that you're going to get dropped just because your mailbox went over quota for a day or two. We'll automatically migrate the entire list tomorrow evening, so you will not be required to re-subscribe or anything like that. Just be sure to use the new list address for posting, and please be patient if there are any kinks that need to be worked out. And now, back to our regularly scheduled program...

The list manager controls who belongs to the list. For example: -------------------------------------------------------------- From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: <not needed> UNSUBSCRIBE --------------------------------------------------------------
