Going away for the summer? Losing your e-mail account for ever and ever? It's that time of year when folks are often disconnected from their e-mail account for weeks at a time, or even have their account terminated as they graduate or move or whatever. SCREEN-L will keep on asending you mail, however, unless you either officially, permanently signoff or you temporarily stop mail from going to your account. This can lead to some stuffed e-mail boxes and some irate listserv coordinators. Here's how to avoid both: To permanently disconnect from SCREEN-L, send e-mail to LISTSERV@UA1VM (not to SCREEN-L@UA1VM) and in the first line of the message put: SIGNOFF SCREEN-L To have your mail put on hold temporarily, send e-mail to LISTSERV@UA1VM (not SCREEN-L@UA1VM) and put the following command in the first line: SET SCREEN-L NOMAIL When you return and you want to receive messages again, follow the same procedure with the command: SET SCREEN-L MAIL Note: Those SCREEN-Lites who connect up via Internet instead of BITNET should use a slightly different address: [log in to unmask] Any questions or problems--give me a buzz. Otherwise, have a rootin' tootin' summer! P.S. I and SCREEN-L will be here all summer. I'll be slaving away on a textbook (READING BETWEEN THE SCAN LINES: AN INTRODUCTION TO TELEVISION CRITICISM <shameless plug, I know>). I don't know what SCREEN-L will be doing. ---------- Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. --T. S. Eliot ---------- | | BITNET : JBUTLER@UA1VM | | Jeremy G.
