Dear list members --

In the coming week, I will be upgrading the mailing list software used to
host this list from ListGuru to a package called eCartis. In general, you
shouldn't notice any differences in operation, other than perhaps seeing
your message arrive sooner. It will still default to replying to the whole
list, it will still have the same email address, still filter out spam,
attachments and list commands, etc. The headers may look a bit different,
but nothing too dramatic. If any of you have email rules set up, those
might need to be changed, but again, it should be pretty evident.

The mailing list software takes commands a bit differently, however.
Commands should be in the message body, with a blank subject line, if you
want to issue more than one command. If you only have one command, you can
put it in the subject line. Where the ListGuru software understood "sub"
== "subscribe" and "unsub" == "unsubscribe", eCartis does not; it expects
fully spelled out commands to be used. The other basic commands are the
same.

For a short period of time, the old list software will be available at
"[email protected]", and the new at "[email protected]", but
eventually both will be pointing to eCartis.

Stay tuned for more announcements after the translation. I'm targeting
Wednesday night, after 7pm PST, as the switch over date. If you have any
concerns or questions, please contact me off-list.

thanks,
Bruce Bergman
