From: Ernie Longmire Subject: (yello) ** IMPORTANT** List Moving To New Software Date: 01 Jan 2002 21:49:12 -0800 Hello everybody; please enjoy the following important form letter -- Xmission has added Mailman to the list of listadmin software they support and I have decided to move the list over. Mailman is more friendly to the casual user thanks to its web-based user interface. The new admin UI will make my admin job easier which should improve the level of service you get as subscribers as well as let me spend more time participating again. You'll also have access to a friendlier archive system and some new subscription options: digest mode is now an "on/off" toggle rather than a separate subscription list, and you can disable your email temporarily without needing to completely unsubscribe. Everything else should work just the same. In order to receive the new version of the list, please go to http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/yello and follow the subscription instructions there -- you'll need to confirm your subscription request via email and there will be a new posting address at mailman.xmission.com. I will disable the old version of the list later this month. Feel free to post or email if you have any questions or concerns. Hope you all enjoy the improvements! -- Ernie Longmire - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - www.studio-nibble.com -= /\/oo\/\ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ernie Longmire Subject: (yello) ** Important ** Last Call: Lists Moving To mailman.xmission.com Date: 10 Jan 2002 21:35:23 -0800 Hi everybody! This is final notice that the lists receiving this message= have moved to the Mailman mailing list software and a new= subscription/posting interface located at mailman.xmission.com. If you= haven't already subscribed to the list at its new home page (listed on the= http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo page) please do so= now. After the old lists are shut down (sometime in the next 24-48 hours, I= believe) posts sent to the old list addresses will *not* be forwarded to= the new lists, so please update your address listings. The old addresses= get loads of junk email messages every day, and the new lists will be much= easier to maintain if we make a clean start with new addresses. Thanks for your patience, and as always please let me know if you have any= questions or concerns about the move. s -- Ernie Longmire - lazlo@studio-nibble.com - www.studio-nibble.com -= /\/oo\/\ # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jast Subject: (yello) Re: [Yello] so....

The sound is in generally more jazzy, but appears to have good use of samples, like Yello -- Jast - mailto:jast@zno.de AIM jasticle ICQ 37456745 # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info yello" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email yello@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. # Yello discography available at http://www.swcp.com/lazlo-bin/discogs?yello ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jast Subject: (yello) Re: [Yello] so....

Date: 24 Jan 2002 17:05:11 -0800 [ Hi nic, [ [ > Oh dear, looks like the default reply-to is the list, not sure the [ > configuration is too good? Actually, when I replied to this message, the default was the sender, and I had to hit reply-to-all for the list. Did the settings change after your suggestion? [ What would be wrong with such a configuration? It is the standard [ for mailing lists and more convinient than using reply to all [ for list replies. You can still reply to sender. What's wrong is that it should not be convenient to send a message to a large list. If you make a mistake, it's better to have one person be bothered rather than everybody. Clicking twice for reply to all for list replies is not too much to ask. There are two choices for the default: either the sender or the list. Most times people are careful to check where they're sending the message, and it is usually only one click to change from the default. My personal opinion is that it is better to have the default be sending to fewer people (i.e. one) rather than an entire list. It really only makes a big difference when you forget to check, and I'd rather mistakes go to an individual. Brian P.S. I wish I had some Yello news, but I don't have any sources.
