Dear All,
As the holiday season is now upon us, mailbase have asked us to send
out a message to remind list members about the suspend mail command.
This means that you can temporarily stop receiving messages from the
list, and then resume when you get back to work - thus avoiding a full
mailbox on your return, and extra work for the poor list owners :-)
For those who are taking a summer break, have a great time, and for
those of you who aren't, don't work too hard!
Best wishes
Sarah Ashton

=========================================
Leaving the list
=========================================
If you want to leave this list, please send a message to:
[log in to unmask]
with this text in the body of the message
leave lis-elib
stop
=========================================
Going on Holiday?
=========================================
If you leave your work for an extended period over summer, and receive
a lot of email messages, your mailbox may fill up, and your email
could stop working.
So before you go away you should temporarily SUSPEND messages from
your Mailbase lists by sending a message to [log in to unmask]
with the command:
suspend mail all
stop
Suspending list membership is particularly important if you use a
vacation mailer program, otherwise automatic messages may be sent from
your address to the list.
On your return, you can RESUME mail by sending a message to
[log in to unmask] with the command
resume mail all
stop
Remember that you can use the web archives to catch up on any messages
you may have missed, or you can retrieve old email archives by email.
More information on the suspend and resume commands is available on
the web at:
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/suspend.html
=========================================
If the commands don't work
=========================================
If the SUSPEND or LEAVE command don't work, or you get an error
message, please contact the list owner by sending a message to:
[log in to unmask]
