Please be advised that the Helpline will be unmanned for the Christmas/New Year break from Saturday 24th December to Monday 2nd January inclusive. Emergency cover will be provided to ensure the JISCmail service continues to operate during this period. You can still email the Helpline and your enquiries will be dealt with upon our return.

Best Wishes for a Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year
from the JISCmail Team

The new style JISCmail Newsletter and December 2005 / January 2006 (issue 8) edition is now available.

You are also welcomed to submit articles relevant to the JISCmail community, such as interesting ways you use your JISCmail list (please contact the Helpline to discuss).

You can view the newsletter in HTML or PDF format by going to the Newsletter homepage:

In order to improve the way new functionality is developed and rolled out to the JISCmail service, we have created a new list called CONSULTATION and are looking for a small number of JISCmail users who would be interested in joining it. The list is intended to be an informal channel whereby, before or during the process of development of new (not current) functionality, we can consult with JISCmail users regarding features or other matters.

By its nature, it could be quiet for long periods of time and then burst into life (Reply-To= List), and some of the discussion could be quite technical. If you feel you would like to join this list, please choose the Join or Leave List option from the CONSULTATION homepage:
