It's that time of year again when folks go away for long periods of
time and don't want to come back to a mailbox of thousands of messages
to plow through in the wintry days of early January. It's also the
time when beleaguered list managers have to deal with folks who set up
autoresponders without unsubscribing from their lists.
Do you want to announce to several thousand people that you're out of
the office for two weeks? Do you want to set up a mail loop where our
computer and your computer exchange 200 messages a day until you
return? Do you want your list subscription mysteriously deactivated,
so that when you come back in January your daily mail load is a lot
lighter and you really can't remember why?
To avoid the above pitfalls and remain in the good graces of the list
admin and your fellow list members, please remember to go to
http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/subscribe/applescript-users (or
-implementors or -studio), log in with your email address and your list
password, and check the "Disable Mail Delivery" box before you turn on
your autoresponder for the season. Do this for every list
subscription, even if you subscribe to the digest. It'll make the
holidays happier for all of us.
Regards,
Chris Espinosa
