Allison, I am wondering if you can help me. When I subscribed to click4HP
before, I got one message daily. I resubscribed at work and now am getting
many emails of people responding to posted messages. How can I go back to
the once a day format?
Thanks

> 1. General Suggestions for Posting to Mailing Lists on the Internet:
>
> *Give Your Postings a Title*
>
> When you write or reply to a message check the subject line to ensure it
> reflects the content of the message. Edit it if necessary.
>
> *Replying to Messages*
>
> When replying to a posting, quote only the text required to put your reply
> in context.
> It helps to cut-and-paste quotes into new messages.
> Try to edit out needless lines in replies and forwarded material.
> If you have to scroll down a whole screen to get to where your response
> begins you have probably quoted too much.
>
> IMPORTANT! Check to ensure you have removed the header from the message
> you
> are replying to. Failing to delete the TO: line in the message you are
> quoting may mean your message will not be posted. The mailing list
> software
> catches these headers as a precaution against mail loops.
>
> Before you hit REPLY be sure to check the TO: line. You may not want your
> private message read by the whole list.
> If you do not know the e-mail address of the person you wish to reach, you
> can review the list of subscribers to the list by sending an e-mail
> message
> to the list-serv [<[log in to unmask]>], leaving the subject line *blank*,
> and in the message body type in Review CLICK4HP. A list of current
> non-concealed subscribers will be sent to you soon after you send that
> message.
>
> You should not repost private email to the list without permission.
>
> * Do Not Use Attachments and Keep Your Postings A Reasonable
> Length*
>
> CLICK4HP has a policy of blocking all attachments and stopping messages
> longer than 250 lines.
> The 250 line limit is designed to achieve two objectives, one covering a
> loophole that allows unreadable attachments to arrive in your mail box.
>
> First, 250 lines is the equivalent of a 10 page double spaced text (5
> pages
> single spaced). That is a substantial posting and hard to read on line. We
> would rather, with such documents, that an abstract be posted and the full
> document be available elsewhere, or on request.
>
> Second, CLICK4HP has a "no attachments" policy. This is to reduce the
> transmission of viruses and worms - both of which almost always require an
> attachment to do their dirty work. This also reduced posting large files
> with images, etc. Again an abstract and notice of availability are
> preferred
> there. More important, some email software and server software
> convert attachments to MIME or encoded messages in plain text that looks
> like line after line of WQEOULNENWEROOO34LLKJ322423OIUGHBKBKLUIY4,MBNI
> and is unreadable to most of you. Since those are almost always more than
> 250 lines, the line limit catches those.
>
> Take the time to copy and paste the text from attachments into the body of
> messages. Your messages will go further and be distributed, and it will be
> appreciated!
>
>
> *Identify Yourself*
>
> Please sign your messages at the end with your name and email address.
> Some
> email software fails to capture the sender's name from the header, making
> it
> impossible to follow up, off the list, by email.
>
>
> *Keeping your Messages Readable*
>
> Keep messages short - two or three screens of information - and 'point' to
> sources of further information (yourself, web pages, etc.).
> Use 'white space' in your message to improve readability.
> Use lists and line breaks to space out the information and improve
> readability online.
>
>
> *Minimum Standards of Respect and Personal Conduct*
>
> Demonstrate respect for the ideas of others in your replies even if you do
> not agree. Debate and discussion are welcome and encouraged. Do not send
> email when angry or upset.
>
> When attempting humour or sarcasm always clearly indicate this with the
> use
> of an emoticon such as :-) or ;-) commonly referred to as smilies.
>
> Use uppercase text sparingly. Many readers consider capital letters as the
> equivalent of shouting online. The use of spacing or asterisks like *this*
> is another way to indicate emphasis.
>
>
> *Advertising Products/Services:*
>
> Posting advertisements for commercial health related products or services
> on
> Click4hp is discouraged. List participants are welcome to mention
> services/resources relevant to furthering health promotion work in the
> context of a discussion underway on Click4hp and invite inquiries directly
> by email. Please refrain from including pricing or ordering material. When

> facilitators for review prior to posting.
