Welcome to IMMNET-L: Immunization Tracking
Systems E-Mail Discussion Group
Soon you will begin to receive messages posted to the list, but
_this_ is an message from the list moderator. Because
participation in this type of system may be new for you, I would
like to offer a few tips.
We welcome contributions. As a new member, we encourage you to
post a one paragraph introduction containing your background and
interests. To post a message to the entire list readership, send
electronic mail to the address below:
IMMNET-L@listserv.dartmouth.edu
Please note that "IMMNET-L" ends
with the letter "L".
The LISTSERV software determines who you are from your return
address. Only you (and the list moderator) can cancel your
subscription. If you are about to lose your e-mail account, or
have it changed, PLEASE cancel by sending an e-mail message with
the single line:
signoff immnet-l
to the following LISTSERV address:
LISTSERV@listserv.dartmouth.edu
You may re-subscribe at anytime by sending
the command:
subscribe immnet-l Yourfirstname Yourlastname
to the same LISTSERV address.
If you are having technical problems with the list, or have
administrative questions, send mail to the list moderator at one
of these addresses:
James.E.Levin-1@UMN.edu
owner-IMMNET-L@listserv.dartmouth.edu
This list has been operating since August,
1993. If you wish, you may retrieve previous messages. Each
month's messages are stored in a file that you may request to be
sent to you via e-mail. For example, to retrieve the January,
1996 messages, prepare e-mail with the single line:
get immnet-l log9601
and send it to the LISTSERV address.
Please make an effort to use informative subject lines in your
messages. Some list readers receive 100s of messages each day,
and the subject lines help them to decide whether to read a
message immediately, read it later, or delete it without reading
it. Examples of useful subjects lines would be:
Assessing clients who may have moved, a
proposal Free IBM PC tracking software available for beta testing
Call for Papers: Public Health Meeting, Atlanta, 2/94 Any
published studies of pediatric imm reminders?
If you are a replying to a previous message, use the same subject
line, or precede it by "Re:". Also, if you are
replying, please make sure that your message can stand on its
own: your readers may not have read the message to which you are
replying. A useful
technique is to briefly quote or summarize the message to which
you are responding.
If you ask a question, many of the replies will be sent by
personal mail, not posted to the entire mailing list. If there
seems to be sufficient interest, consider posting a summary of
the replies to the list.
Finally, remember that e-mail allows for great diversity. This
means that members of this list will have a wide range of
computer, medical, administrative, and cultural backgrounds.
Please try to write for a wide audience. Also, remember that
voice and body-languages nuances get lost in written messages.
This message file was revised March 9, 1996. To retrieve the
latest version send a message to the one of the LISTSERV
addresses shown above.
The message should have a blank subject line, and the single line
of text: get IMMNET-L welcome
