USING APPIC'S E-MAIL LISTS
For a description of all of APPIC's e-mail lists, along with instructions for subscribing and managing your subscription, click here.
APPIC E-MAIL LIST RULES
The following rules apply to all of APPIC's e-mail lists, and
subscribing to a list denotes your agreement to abide by these
rules as a condition of your subscription:
- Do not use the list for illegal or unethical purposes.
- Do not interfere with or disrupt other list users, list resources,
or network services or equipment.
- Do not use the list for commercial purposes.
- Do not show disrespect for the points of view of others.
- Postings must be related to the general topic and purpose
of the list.
- APPIC is not responsible for postings on its e-mail lists.
Each list may have additional rules or guidelines. APPIC may
remove from the list any list member who does not abide by these
rules.
Postings that request participation in research studies must be directly related to the general topic and purpose of the list. It is strongly recommended that you check with the List Manager (see "Need Help?" section, below) in advance to ensure that your posting meets these requirements.
MANAGING YOUR LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS
There are two ways for you to communicate with APPIC's e-mail
list server (called "Lyris") in order to manage your list subscriptions:
- Sending commands to the server via e-mail.
- Using your browser to access a "web interface" to the server.
Specific information about managing your subscription to a list
can be found on the information page for that specific list (click here for a description of all APPIC e-mail lists).
POSTING MESSAGES TO A LIST
Please remember some basic rules of etiquette when posting a message to one of APPIC's discussion lists:
- Please remember that clicking "Reply" in your e-mail program while reading a message from an APPIC list will send your reply to the entire list, not just to the author. If you wish to reply privately to the author of the message, you will need to make that adjustment before sending the message.
- APPIC's lists now permit attachments, which means that there is a possibility that you could receive an attachment from the list that contains a virus. You should always ensure that your virus protection software is up to date.
"DIGEST" OPTION
APPIC's "Network" (i.e., discussion) e-mail lists can get quite
busy at times and can thus generate a large amount of e-mail.
You may use the "Digest" option to greatly reduce the amount of
e-mail that you receive from a list. Once you have set the "Digest"
option for your subscription to a list, you will receive no more
than one e-mail each day from that list that contains all of the
messages posted during the previous 24 hours. Using the "Digest"
option is a great way to stay involved in an active discussion
list without getting flooded with e-mail.
In order to adjust the "Digest" option for your subscription, click here, select the list of interest, then follow the instructions on the following page.
ACCESSING MESSAGE ARCHIVES
Messages that are posted to some APPIC's lists are saved in the archives for a limited period of time.
After clicking on the link below, you will be transferred to the "web interface" for the Lyris e-mail list server. From the initial page, click on the e-mail list that you are interested in reviewing. You must then login using the e-mail address at which you are subscribed to the list and a blank password (the e-mail address at which you are subscribed appears at the end of every message posted to the list). You must be a member of a list in order to review the message archives for that list.
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be taken to a screen that will allow you to review the message archives for the list that you have selected. You may sort the list by clicking the arrows at the top of each column. Some APPIC lists allow you to search the archives for specific key words, using the "Search" tab at the top of the page.

WHICH APPIC LISTS AM I ON?
- If you want to know the APPIC lists to which you are subscribed,
simply send an e-mail message to lyris@lyris.appic.org
with the following two commands on the first two lines of the
body of your message:
- which
- end
You will receive a return e-mail that lists the APPIC e-mail
lists to which you are subscribed.
NEED HELP?
If you need assistance with any APPIC list, you may contact the
list manager, Greg Keilin, Ph.D., at gkeilin@mail.utexas.edu.
