Modify subscriber options

You may control many aspects of your list subscription, including the following:

Unsubscribe from a list

• To unsubscribe from a list, select the Unsubscribe link. If unsubscribing from a list requires approval, you may have to wait for the list owner to approve your request.

Change how you receive messages for a particular list

1. Select the Subscriber Options link.
2. Change your Receiving mode using the drop-down menu. The following recommended Receiving modes are:
   • Standard (direct reception): You will receive a separate email message for every post to the list
   • You do not receive your own posts: You will receive a separate email message for every post to the list, except for posts you send, which you will not receive in your Inbox
   • Digest MIME: You will receive a daily or weekly message which lists the posts since the previous digest. The frequency of the digest is set by the list owner.
   • No mail (useful for vacations): You can choose to never receive posts as email messages but rather just use the Web Archive to view posts (see “Viewing Web Archives”).
3. Select a mode from the Receiving Mode drop-down list and select the Update button.
