At this holiday time, please remember to set yourself nomail if you will
be away from your computer for a few days..or on a well-needed vacation.

The listowners have received and seen many requests to start or stop
mail or to change addresses.  This information is covered in the
"Welcome Note" that all subscribers received when they joined Lactnet.
To get another copy of this note, send a note to the listserv at
[log in to unmask] stating:

Get Lactnet Welcome

I have reprinted the most commonly needed directions from the welcome
note.  Most of the time, you can manage your own subscription.  There
are over 3000 subscribers to this list.  The list owners would like to
reserve our time and energy for solving the more complicated problems
that cannot be easily resolved by individuals. Thank you. Lactnet
volunteer listmothers.

[log in to unmask]

There are two addresses to this and any other listserv.

1. Mail commands like SUBSCRIBE LACTNET Jane Doe IBCLC
go  to the COMPUTER address:

            [log in to unmask]

It responds to commands.

2. Mail notes to all recipients of LACTNET (the PEOPLE address) to:

            [log in to unmask]

Your first note to LACTNET should be an introduction. REMEMBER: Only the
listserv address (and NOT the Lactnet address)  responds  to commands
and command notes sent to the [log in to unmask] address will
be read by all subscribers of LACTNET, who will then know that you have
not read this welcome message. Avoid embarrassment: use the correct
address!

PLEASE use subject titles when writing to LACTNET.

KEY COMMANDS

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE AWAY and NOT reading your messages, send the
following command to the [log in to unmask] address:
  SET LACTNET NOMAIL
When you return, send a command:

  SET LACTNET MAIL

and your mail will be resumed .

To resume the DIGEST function, send the following command to listserv:

  SET LACTNET DIGEST

If you are interested in receiving only a MENU of messages, send this
command:

  SET LACTNET INDEX

This will get you regular indexes of Lactnet messages, and you may pick
and choose from them and order what you wish to read from Lactnet.
