Hi,

Given the recent increase in traffic on our list, you may be interested
in modifying your subscription preferences to receive messages in
DIGEST mode, which means you get all of the messages in a day
combined into a single message.

Should you wish to change your preferences, here's how:

- Go to https://listserv.yorku.ca/archives/shoe.html
- Click ''Join or leave the list (or change settings)"
- Click 'login with your LISTSERV password' in the first paragraph.
- Enter your E-mail Address and password
     - If you don't know your password, click "get a new LISTSERV
password" and create one
- Click the "follow this link" link.
- Choose your subscription type (which is Regular by default) and
other options and click the "Update Options" button.


Here are the ways you can choose to receive messages on this list
(from LISTSERV's documentation):

*****
Regular
With a "regular" subscription, you receive individual postings
immediately as they are processed by LISTSERV.

Digest (Traditional), Digest (MIME format), Digest (HTML format)
With a "digest" subscription, you receive larger messages (called
"digests") at regular intervals, usually once per day or once per
week. These "digests" are collections of individual list postings.
Some lists are so active that they produce several digests per day.

Digests are a good compromise between reading everything as it is
posted and feeling like the list is clogging your mailbox with a
multitude of individual postings.

There are three digest formats: a "traditional", text-only format; a
MIME format, which (with mail clients that understand MIME digests)
"bursts" the individual messages out of the digest so that you can
read them separately; and an HTML format, which requires an HTML mail
clients.

Index (Traditional), Index (HTML format)
With an "index" subscription, you receive short "index" messages at
regular intervals, usually once per day or once per week. These
"indexes" show you what is being discussed on the list, without
including the text of the individual postings. For each posting, the
date, the author's name and address, the subject of the message, and
the number of lines is listed. You can then download messages of
interest from the server (the index contains instructions on how to do
that).

An index subscription is ideal if you have a slow connection and only
read a few hand-picked messages. The indexes are very short and you do
not have to worry about long download times. The drawback of course is
that you need to reconnect to retrieve messages of interest from the
server.

You can choose to have the index sent to you in either a traditional
format (plain text) or in HTML format with hyperlinks.

If you have problems, please let me know and I will help you.

Thanks to Avi Cohen for suggesting that this would be of interest to
our subscribers.
