["Greg Miller" <gsmiller@cet.com>]

Dear list:

A transition is in progress to move this list from Yahoogroups.com to a 
university 
based server.  You will receive a test message, introductory info, and other 
pertinent 
messages within the next few days.  

Although some transition time is required, the goal is to try to make the 
change 
complete by May 1 if possible.  Since I have just forwarded the address list 
this 
Friday afternoon, it is possible that Larry London may not get to some of the 
administrative tasks until Monday or later.  In any event, the changes will 
occur in 
the near future.  I will give more specific details after Larry has the new 
list running, 
but generically you can expect something like this.

1.  You will get a test message from the new list.  This will happen whether 
or not 
you are set for "no email", "digest", or individual messages.  Delivery 
details may 
need to be reset through the new list.

2.  You will start to get duplicate messages after the new list is added as a 
subscriber to the yahoogroups.com list.

3.  As soon as you start to get duplicate messages, please do the following:

a.  post all replies and new messages to the new list.  Any messages sent to 
yahoogroups.comwill be forwarded to the new list.  No mailsent to the new 
list will be 
forwarded to yahoogroups.com.  If you are not getting duplicates, it means 
you are 
not on the new list yet.  Once you start getting duplicates, you can get all 
messages 
(one copy) by belonging to the new list only.

b. if you have web access AND can access Yahoogroups.com, change your 
preferences to "no email".  This will notify me that you are receiving mail 
from the 
new server.

c.  alternatively send a blank message to <nafex-nomail@yahoogroups.com>  

d.  email addresses other than "no email" will be changed to "special 
notices" after a 
week or so.  Those addresses will get repeated instructions on how to change.

e.  if you choose to unsubscribe I will forward that info to Larry London for 
removal 
from the new list.

f.  there will be repeat messages sent to the Yahoogroups.com site directing 
people 
to the new site, as well as new subscribers.

There will be a few bumps, but I anticipate a positive change on balance.  
Sorry to 
all those who liked the Yahoogroups.com service.  Please bear with the change.

Greg Miller
