[Vegmisc] (Again) Important Mailing List Information.

[vaalea]

Yes, this Vegmisc mailing list is to encourage more interaction amongst vegn members between meetups. I wish people to feel comfortable sending off just a sentence or few to this list telling everyone that there is a sale at this store, or a new vegn product they tried, recipe etc. Usually I tried to wait until I have a list of things to say before I would post to the Veg-ns mailing list.... and sometimes I would forget.... and it was especially not nice because people had to rely on me to pass on information and I didn't always post them on time... if I remembered to. This mailing list is also to help keep the Veg-ns mailing list posts to a bare minimum... just about OttawaVeg events.

The only time a person should reply to the author only and not to the group is if it is a private message, or one they don't think the group needs to hear. In the case of the notmilk website, there are others besides me who were/are also interested. I don't want to keep the mailing list as single private conversations between me and each individual member, I want it to be group conversations where everyone can contribute and benefit.

Now, if everyone starts emailing this list on a regular basis, it WILL generate a lot of email to your inbox.. however, there are a few ways to combat this:
1. You can go to http://lists.ottawaveg.com/mailman/listinfo/vegmisc and select to receive digests only. The mailing list will combine emails before sending them to you. You should get a digest about once a week. [I'm still working things out a little.. if you have problems with the digest, let me know] 
2. If you use Outlook Express or some program like that, you can have the mail sort into it's own folder automatically when you receive it. Then you can look it over at your leisure without it being mixed up with your regular mail. [in Outlook it is "Tools" "Message rules" "mail" "new" check "where the subject line contains specific words" check "move it to the specified folder" then click on the blue "specific words" and put in 'Vegmisc', and click on the blue "specified folder" and choose or create a new folder to put it in.] 
3. You can remove yourself from the mailing list, and then go here to view posts to the mailing list (if you remember) http://lists.ottawaveg.com/pipermail/vegmisc/

Another note, to help people who view the mailing list archives, please make your subject line as descriptive as possible if you are starting a new topic (and not just replying to someone else's topic).

I think that is all.... for now....

  I think answering questions/sharing information pertaining to miscellaneous subjects of possible interest to veg*ns is appropriate.  Actually, I'm under the impression that that's what the point of this mailing list is, no?  Maybe it's just me?

    should answers to vaalea's emails be sent strictly to Vallea or the entire list?  If to the list, I can foresee a lot of emails being sent.

      Hi, Vaalea!  Just wondering if you tried www.notmilk.com for your milk question?
