How to subscribe (and unsubscribe)
to WML
Here is the low-down on how to use WML. You can
choose to receive WML in one (or both) of two forms.
Normal: Each message that is sent to the list is
forwarded to these people as it is received. On busy days each
subscriber may receive 50 or more individual messages.
Digest: For those that don't want to get a stream
of mails throughout the day, there is also a digest option which
consolidates several individual messages sent to WML into a single
email.
Subscribing
You can subscribe to the list by sending an email subscription
request to the
following address
watfordml-subscribe@yahoogroups.co.uk
Your subscription will require approval by WML Admin so it may take
a short while before you can join the List.
Alternatively, you can use your web browser to go to the List's home
page at Yahoo and click on "Join This Group", which will require you
to sign up as a Yahoo member (this is free but slightly tedious).
Again as approval is required by WML Admin, it is not an instant
process.
Normally requests for subscription are dealt with within hours
rather than days.
By default, you will receive all mails individually. You can change
this to the daily digest by logging in to your Yahoo account, going
to the WML Yahoo page and amending your preferences.
Change subscription to the Digest
You may find the traffic on WML to excessive at times to receive
individual emails. You can change your subscription to a daily
digest instead.
To do this you should do the following::
-
Go to the WML Yahoo page
-
Sign in with your Yahoo ID - or get a Yahoo ID if you do not have one already and go back to the WML page if necessary
-
Click on "Edit Membership" in the white bar just above the blue bar with the list name
-
Under "Message Delivery" choose "Daily Digest"
-
Click on "Save Changes" in the bottom right
It may take up to 24 hours to be come effective
Temporarily suspending list mail
To temporarily suspend your account, if you are going on holiday for
example, go to the WML Yahoo page and sign in with your Yahoo ID (or
create a Yahoo ID if you do not currently have one).
Select "Edit Membership" and go to the section entitled "Message
Delivery" and select "No email - I'll read messages on the web
site."
Although you cannot read messages on the website as we do not
maintain an archive, you will suspend you account from receiving any
emails until you change your preference back to "individual emails",
or "digest".
Unsubscribing
Should you wish to unsubscribe from the mailing list, just send an e-mail to
watfordml-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.co.uk making sure that the e-mail address that you are
sending from is the same address as the one you subscribed with.
