The JISCMail Newsletter for January has now been distributed. Please see https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=JISCMAIL-NEWSLETTER;iGZBrw;20100226135831%2B0000

If you would like to subscribe to the JISCMAIL-NEWSLETTER list, send an email to listserv@jiscmail.ac.uk with SUBSCRIBE JISCMAIL-NEWSLETTER in the body of the email.

There is an on-going problem with Hotmail addresses, where Hotmail occasionally sends an automatic 'signoff' command to Listserv which Listserv then responds to. If this happens, please go to www.jiscmail.ac.uk/LISTNAME (where 'LISTNAME@ is the name of your chosen list) for a link to resubscribe.
Please note that we recommend using an alternative address to Hotmail wherever possible.

JISCMail would like to invite you to be among the first to preview and test our LISTSERV 16.0 upgrade which will be released on JISCMail in March. The changes which are of interest to our subscribers are:

• Professional looking newsletters.
• New online posting options – schedule date to post, send test to self, save draft.
• New archive preferences – hovering descriptions, latest messages on list homepage, default view (HTML/text).
• New default list homepage look.
• Mail merge.
• Downloading subscribers in CSV format (available via list management, reports).
• Reports downloading in CSV.

If you would like to test the new version, please send an email to helpline@jiscmail.ac.uk.
