Dear list member
Mailbase is being replaced by JISCmail as the provider for
env-ed-research on the 27th November.
The only major difference this will make to the service after that date
is that the address will now be [log in to unmask], rather
than [log in to unmask]
If you have a website that points to env-ed-research on the web, the
current address:
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/env-ed-research/
will be replaced by
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/env-ed-research.html
Also, if your email program filters your email to folders based on the
current address, this might require updating to recognise the new
format, i.e. [log in to unmask]
I'm assured by the team at Mailbase and JISCmail that the transition
should be straightforward ... Please address any questions about this
process to me at [log in to unmask] I will post
another mailing about the transition, if needs be, closer to the date.
Further details are available at the JISCmail website:

Best wishes
Alan Reid

_______________
The Mailbase service which provides electronic discussion list
management for the academic community is changing. Following a recent
open procurement, the body which funds the provision of information
systems for the UK higher and further education and research community
has awarded the contract to provide the National Academic Mailing List
Service to the Council for the Central Laboratories of the Research
Councils (CCLRC) with effect from 27 November 2000. The name Mailbase
will be retained by the University of Newcastle, the current Mailbase
service provider, so the new service from CCLRC will have a new name,
JISCmail.
The service will be based upon the well known LISTSERV software. This
will result in some changes to the user interface. Details of the
differences and the transition arrangements are available on the
JISCmail web site at http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/docs/transition.htm
