Sheldon,
The response I received back is as follows, (this wasn't in my welcome
letter).
Nope, you don't have to sign off, just set your list setting to
NOMAIL. That way you don't have to go through the long confirmation
process again.
You should have received this information when you subscribed. It's
in the "Welcome" message (at least, it used to be), and in the
"Standard Information from the Listowner" that Eric posts twice each
month.
Q: I want to stop my mail, but I don't want to unsubscribe
because I hate that confirmation process. What do I do?
A: To stop your mail (assuming you are a subscriber),
send a message to:
LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU
Leave the subject line blank, and include on the first line of the
message:
SET TECHWR-L NOMAIL
Q: I stopped my mail using NOMAIL, and now I want reqular mail. What
do
I do?
A: To change back to regular mail,
send a message to:
LISTSERV -at- VM1 -dot- UCC -dot- OKSTATE -dot- EDU
Leave the subject line blank, and include on the first line of the
message:
SET TECHWR-L MAIL

I'm sorry for wasting time/space, but I missed the answer to the recent
question:
>> If I go on vacation, I assume I use the "SIGNOFF TECHWR-L"
>>command, but what is the command to re-signon? Do I need to
>>resubscribe to re-signon?
Is her first assumption correct? To which address does it go?
TIA,
Sheldon Siegel
