RootsWeb is in the process of switching over to new upgraded list management
software.
Our list is scheduled to be migrated to the new system tomorrow if all goes
well. For list subscribers, the changeover should be smooth. The changes
primarily involve the administration tools that keep the list running behind the
scenes.

The list name is changing from GUYER-L to just GUYER. So you may subscribe
or unsub by sending your request to:
(mailto:) with one exception. If you wish to subscribe in
Digest mode you must send your subscribe request to
(mailto:) . You may also continue sending
your requests as you always have--either will work. The word SUBSCRIBE or
UNSUBSCRIBE must be included in the subject and may also be included in the
message body.

Digest subscribers will notice some changes to the list digests. New
instructions will be added to the digests -- please read them. In addition, the
digest volume and issue number may be different (out of sequence) from what you
had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are
used to and you would like it changed, contact me privately at the list
admin address: (mailto:) .
Also, if you run into any unusual or confusing occurrences with mail from this
list that could possibly be related to the chageover, let me know.

If you use email headers to filter list mail to a special folder in your
email program you may need to check whether your filters will need tweaking
under the new system. AOL and some other ISPs have not been delivering mail
reliably so far to the migrated lists--so AOLers may want to complain to the AOL
postmaster if they have problems. Others should let their ISPs know this is
mail they wish to receive.

If you previously subscribed to the list in both L and D modes using the
same email address you will find that you are no longer subbed in Digest mode.
The new software doesn't permit the same address to be subbed in both L and D
modes. Therefore, if you wish to receive both modes, you will need to
subscribe to the digests using a different email address.

Please continue to send your queries, data, and responses to the list as
usual. It is a great time to post a new query to try to break down those brick
walls.

Thanks!

Joan, admin

migration takes place
