[Bmcu] List management note, digest option

[Mark J Bradakis]

I survived the annual meeting.  Wish I had felt better.  But luckily for
those in attendance I could barely speak, though I did try a time or two.

Someone, I can't remember who, asked about getting the club email in
digest form.  It is actually pretty easy.  While being home sick and grumpy
I've been doing some Team.Net maintenance work.  One minor detail is
changing the links in the message trailers.  Down below  is a link that
is now titled Unsubscribe/Manage

Click on that to unsubscribe, obviously, as well as to set various options
for your mail delivery.  The link takes you to a page with three choices.

The top one will take you to a web page to manage your list options.  All
you need is your list password.  You know, the one that is mailed out to
you on the 4th of every month.  But since you didn't save that, you 
first want
the third option, a password reminder.  Click on the remind button, and at
some point, maybe a minute or two, maybe 5 or 10, you'll get a message
containing your password.  Paste that password into the first box of the
Unsubscribe/Manage page and click on the login button.

The next page will have a bunch of stuff on it.  About halfway down, under
subscription options, the second entry is called 'Set Digest Mode'  If you
want a digest, which is a daily collection of all the emails sent  to 
the list
then packaged up into one email to you,  click on the 'On' button.   Then
go down to the bottom and click on 'Submit my Changes' to have it take
effect.

Sometimes there is a flurry of activity that may or may not interest some,
so a digest might be what they want instead of having each individual
message arrive when the poster sends it.  Actually, what some folks might
like is to have something like a bmcu-announce list with restricted access,
only for "official" notices about club stuff.  And the general list with
tech questions, parts queries,  impromptu drives, Olympic hockey game
chatter and such.  Being on the announce list would be required, the general
list optional.  There are a few other things to be discussed regarding the
club's presence on the net, stay tuned.
