Brawley Pacific Northwest Generating Cooperative 503.288.5555 "Dalia, Keith A - TOS-DITT1" Sent by: RTO West Regional Representatives Group 05/15/01 04:39 PM Please respond to RTO West Regional Representatives Group ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? To: ? ? ? ?RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG ? ? ? ? cc: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Subject: ? ? ? ? You have been added to the RRGA-L mailing list (RTO West Congestion Model Content Group) by Keith Dalia . Please save this message for future ?reference, especially if this is the first time you subscribe to an ?electronic mailing list. If you ever need to ?leave the ?list, ?you ?will find ?the ?necessary instructions ?below. Perhaps ?more importantly, ?saving a ?copy of ?this message ?(and of ?all future subscription notices ?from other mailing lists) in ?a special mail folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you are subscribed ?to. This may ?prove very useful the ?next time you ?go on vacation and ?need to leave ?the lists temporarily so ?as not to ?fill up your ?mailbox while ?you ?are away! ?You should ?also ?save the ?"welcome messages" from the ?list owners that you will ?occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list. To send ?a message to ?all the people ?currently subscribed to ?the list, just send mail ?to RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. This is ?called "sending mail to the ?list", because ?you send ?mail to a ?single address ?and LISTSERV makes ?copies ?for all ?the ?people ?who ?have subscribed. ?This ?address (RRGA-L@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG) ?is also ?called the ?"list address". ?You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people ?who have subscribed. All commands must ?be sent to the "LISTSERV ?address", ? LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. ?It ? is ?very important to understand ?the difference between the ?two, but fortunately it is ?not complicated. The ?LISTSERV address is ?like a FAX ?number that connects you ?to a ?machine, whereas ?the list address ?is like ?a normal voice line connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number ?when you ?wanted to talk ?to someone on ?the phone, ?you will quickly realize ?that you used the ?wrong number and call ?again. No harm will have been done. If on the ?other hand you accidentally make your FAX call ?someone's ?voice ?line, ?the ?person receiving ?the ?call ?will ?be inconvenienced, especially if your FAX then re-dials every 5 minutes. The fact that ?most people ?will eventually ?connect the ?FAX machine ?to the voice line to ?allow the FAX to ?go through and make the ?calls stop does not mean ?that you ?should continue ?to send FAXes ?to the ?voice number. People would just get mad at you. ?It works pretty much the same way with mailing ?lists, with ?the difference ?that ?you are ?calling hundreds ?or thousands of people ?at the same time, and consequently ?you can expect a lot of people to get upset if ?you consistently send commands to the list address. You may leave the list at any ?time by sending a "SIGNOFF RRGA-L" command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. You can also tell LISTSERV how you want it to confirm ?the receipt of messages you send to ?the list. If you do not trust ?the system, send a "SET RRGA-L ?REPRO" command and LISTSERV will send you a ?copy of your own messages, so that you ?can see that the message was distributed and did not get damaged on the way. After a while you ?may find ?that this ?is getting ?annoying, especially ?if your ?mail program does not ?tell you that the ?message is from you ?when it informs you that new mail has arrived from ?RRGA-L. If you send a "SET RRGA-L ACK NOREPRO" command, LISTSERV will mail you a short acknowledgement instead, which ?will look ?different in ?your ?mailbox directory. ?With most ?mail programs you ?will know immediately ?that this is an ?acknowledgement you can read ?later. Finally, ?you can ?turn off ?acknowledgements completely with "SET RRGA-L NOACK NOREPRO". Following ?instructions from ?the list ?owner, your ?subscription options have been set to "NOFILES REPRO" rather than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more ?information about subscription ?options, send a ?"QUERY RRGA-L" command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a list of the available archive files ?by sending an "INDEX RRGA-L" command to ?LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG. You ?can then ?order these ?files with a "GET RRGA-L LOGxxxx" ?command, or using LISTSERV's database search facilities. Send an ?"INFO DATABASE" command for more ?information on the latter. This ?list is ?available ?in digest ?form. ?If you ?wish ?to receive ?the digested version of the postings, just issue a SET RRGA-L DIGEST command. Please note that ?it is presently possible for other ?people to determine that ?you are ?signed up ?to the ?list through ?the use ?of the ?"REVIEW" command, ?which ?returns ? the ?e-mail ?address ?and ?name ? of ?all ?the subscribers. If ?you do not ?want your name to ?be visible, just ?issue a "SET RRGA-L CONCEAL" command. More ?information on ?LISTSERV ?commands ?can be ?found ?in the ?LISTSERV reference ?card, which ?you can ?retrieve ?by sending ?an "INFO ?REFCARD" command to LISTSERV@LIST.RTOWEST.ORG.
