explanation of new mailing list
by Lydia Neilson
Dear Friends:
You have received a message that you have been put on a new mailing
list and some of you are confused as to what that means. It is the
same mailing list but it is updated in such a way that it is easier
to send out a mass mailer. It is simply an administrative
move. Sheila Alder who is helping me do this has been of great
assistance in making this happen. The old list was not as functional
as it went out in bulk and causing difficulties in sending it
out. Now, although it is a mass mailer, each individual address is
sent separately from each other. Due to the many problems that hosts
have with spam emails, this is a better way to control that
problem. The emails are still coming from me and are treated as
private and confidential at all times.
