APPIC Postdoc-Members-Network E-mail List
The APPIC "Postdoc-Members-Network" e-mail list is restricted
to APPIC-member Training Directors and APPIC officers and staff.
Students are not permitted to subscribe to this list. This
list allows APPIC-member Training Directors to exchange ideas
and share information about issues relevant to post-doctoral training
programs. This list is open to all APPIC-member Training Directors
regardless of whether or not they have an established post-doctoral
program.
MANAGING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION
There are two ways for you to communicate with APPIC's e-mail
list server (called "Lyris") in order to manage your list subscription:
- Send commands to the server via e-mail (see the information
below for the specific commands to use).
- Use the Lyris web
interface. This method allows you to use your browser to
subscribe or unsubscribe, manage your subscription, review message
archives, etc. When using the web interface to manage an existing
list subscription, you MUST login using the EXACT e-mail address
at which you are subscribed (this e-mail address appears at
the end of every message posted to the list) and a blank password.
Due to the idiosyncrasies of e-mail, sometimes you are subscribed
to a list under a slightly different address than you might
think. If you are having difficulty, be sure that you are entering
the e-mail address that is listed at the end of each message
that you receive from the list.
SUBSCRIBING
Subscribing to this list requires the approval of APPIC.
To subscribe to this list, send an e-mail to Dr. Greg Keilin at
gkeilin@mail.utexas.edu
with a request to join the list along with the following information:
your name, your APPIC member ID number, and the name, city, and
state of your agency. Once your APPIC membership status has been
verified, you will be subscribed to this list and you will receive
a confirmation e-mail.
UNSUBSCRIBING
To unsubscribe from this e-mail list, simply send a blank e-mail
to:
unsubscribe-postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
You must send this e-mail message from the exact address at which
you are subscribed to the list. If you have difficulty, use the
web
interface (described under "Managing your Subscription" above).
POSTING MESSAGES TO THE LIST
To post a message to this list, simply send the message to the
following address:
postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
Messages sent to the list with attachments are not permitted and
will be rejected by the server.
USING THE DIGEST OPTION
APPIC's "Network" e-mail lists can sometimes generate a considerable amount of e-mail. If you set the "Digest" option for your subscription to this list, you will receive a maximum of one e-mail message each day that contains all of the messages posted to the list during the previous 24 hours. Using the "Digest" option is a great way to stay involved with an active list without getting flooded with e-mail.
There are two types of "Digest" settings that you can use -- the regular setting works best for most people:
(1) The regular "Digest" setting, which works well with all e-mail programs but has the disadvantage of not preserving the special formatting that is present in some messages. To turn on the regular "Digest" setting for this list, send a blank e-mail message to:
digest-postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
(2) The "MIME Digest" setting. The advantage to this setting is that it preserves message formatting. However, some e-mail programs receive MIME Digests as attachments, making them much more difficult to read (some e-mail programs, such as Eudora, allow you to change a setting so this won't happen). To turn on the "MIME Digest" setting for this list, send a blank e-mail message to:
mimedigest-postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
To completely turn off the "Digest" option for this list, which means that you will receive individual messages as they are posted to the list, send a blank e-mail message to:
mail-postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
VIEWING YOUR LIST SETTINGS
To determine your current subscription settings for this list,
send a blank e-mail message to:
query-postdoc-members-network@lyris.appic.org
RULES FOR USING THIS LIST
In addition to the general rules
that apply to all of APPIC's e-mail lists, this list has the following
additional rule:
- Only APPIC-member internship and postdoctoral Training Directors are eligible to subscribe
to this list.
