Apologies to everyone, I was planning to make an announcement prior to making changes but once the send button was hit - you can't go back...
By now everyone has receieved a "Welcome to the Ontbirds mailing list" email. It is legitimate. Recent mail overloads have forced an early upgrade of our software. More apologies to Gene Denzel for leading with his chin. The old method of sending subscription requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is gone. In its place is a web-based interface for setting subscription options. New options include digest mode and no-mail. Posting to Ontbirds remains exactly the same. Send your reports to [email protected] There may be a bit of transition over the next week but once everything has been tested the system will be better than ever. In the mean time, don't hestitate to contact me with any questions. --- Mark Cranford ONTBIRDS Coordinator Mississauga, Ontario [EMAIL PROTECTED] 905 279 9576 From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 16 07:24:56 2004 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from james.hwcn.org (james.hwcn.org [199.212.94.66]) by king.hwcn.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B49947C9C for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 16 Mar 2004 07:24:56 -0500 (EST) Received: from localhost ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by james.hwcn.org (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA01447 for <[email protected]>; Tue, 16 Mar 2004 07:29:50 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 07:29:50 -0500 (EST) From: Mike Street <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [0.3] [Ontbirds] ONTBIRDS SYSTEM UPGRADE In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-BeenThere: [email protected] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Ontbirds Bird Watchers <ontbirds.hwcn.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://mailman.hwcn.org/mailman/listinfo/ontbirds>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Archive: <http://mailman.hwcn.org/mailman/private/ontbirds> List-Post: <mailto:[email protected]> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://mailman.hwcn.org/mailman/listinfo/ontbirds>, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 12:24:56 -0000 Mark, I suspect that most people dumped the 'welcoming' message as an error, without reading it. I did. If it contained new instructions for signing up, etc. perhaps you should send it out again, this time with a clear subject line? Mike Mike Street Ancaster, Ontario, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED]
