Subscribing
to the tec912 course listserve
The optional
TEC 912 listserve will provide an opportunity for you to communicate
with other TEC 912 course participants. Furthermore, the TEC 912 listserve
will allow me to easily communicate with the entire group and to share
new web searching resources.
I invite
you to join the listserve now following these instructions.
- Send an
email message to the following address:
tec912-subscribe@topica.com
- Leave
the subject: and message body fields blank. (Note: if your e-mail software
requires that you enter something in the subject field, just position
the cursor in the subject field and hit the space bar.)
- Send the
message.
- The Topica
listserve computer will respond with a message addressed to the e-mail
address that you used when sending the subscription message.
- Follow
the instructions in the message to complete your subscription to the
TEC 912 listserve.
- Note:
There is no charge for "subscribing" to the listserve.. that
is just the term used to describe the process of joining the listserve
group.
Sending
messages to the tec912 listserve:
- Open your
e-mail software and create a message addressed to:
tec912@topica.com
- Enter
a short title in the Subject: field.
- Type your
message in the body of the e-mail message.
- Send the
e-mail message. The message will automatically be re-sent to everyone
subscribed to the listserve.
- Important
note: The listserve will only accept messages from members subscribed
to the group. If you send a message prior to subscribing, it will be
returned to you by the Topica listserve computer.
Replying
to messages received from the tec912 listserve:
Please note:
You have two options in replying to mailing list messages. You may either
send a reply only to the person who originally sent the message or you
may send a reply that is sent to everyone subscribed to the mailing list.
To send
a reply to the person who sent the original message:
- With the
original message on the screen, select the Reply option from
your e-mail software.
- Double
check that only that person's e-mail address appears in the To: field.
- Type your
message in the body of the e-mail message and Send it.
- A message
sent in this manner will bypass the listserve and be sent only to the
person who wrote the original message.
To send
a reply to the entire listserve group:
- With the
original message on the screen, select the Reply to All option
from your e-mail software.
- You should
see tec912@topica.com in either the TO: or CC:
fields. Your software may automatically include the e-mail address of
the original sender in the TO: or CC: fields.
- Type your
message and Send it.
- A message
sent in this manner will be sent to all members of the listserve.
Important
Note: If your e-mail software automatically includes the original
message in the reply message that you are sending, you will want to edit
or delete the original message as a courtesy to other listserve members.
Unsubscribing

listserve computer will respond with a message addressed to the e-mail
