Hi, As the peak annual leave season for many of us is now in full flow, I thought it might be helpful to put up a few reminders (those of you who are model list members may hit delete at this point). If you know that your email address is about to change it would be wise to leave the list before the old address expires. This will enable you to rejoin with the new address unaided. If you are going to be absent for more than a day or so you can either leave the list and rejoin when you return or send the following command to [log in to unmask] (or [log in to unmask]) SET LIS-E-JOURNALS NOMAIL or SET * NOMAIL for all lists you are subscribed to. When you return, you can send another email with the command SET LIS-E-JOURNALS MAIL OR SET * MAIL to start receiving mail from the list(s) again. There is a certain amount you can do for yourself by visiting the Subscriber's Corner of the jiscmail website http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk. Beware of leaving your "out of office" message activated while you are still set to receive mail - some systems achieve a boomerang effect which results in every member of the list being bombarded with multiple copies of the autoreply message. Finally, do not forget that list-owners will also have their mail switched off while they are on holiday, so if a dispute arises about, for example, an unsuitable posting, you might notice an absence of response from them for a while.
