[Sca-cooks] thanks and more help please?

[Philippa Alderton]

Oh dear, you are a bit new to this, aren't you?

OK, for starters, the address of this List is:

Sca-cooks at ansteorra.org

It is not run by, nor does it have anything to do
with, Yahoo.

You, however, have a yahoo mailbox- most of us do not,
and in fact, if it weren't for a problem with my
server, I wouldn't get this List on Yahoo.

We will not be getting doubles of this mail, although
if there's a group on Yahoo named SCA-Cooks, they may
get a copy.

It's sorta like you mailed two letters, one to 1357
Main St, Portland, _OR_, and one to 1357 Main St,
Portland _ME_. Both addresses may exist, but they are
neither the same people nor the same location.

Yahoo has a particular set-up which is quite handy-
since it's free, many of us use it- I run 6 groups
over there, and I'm subscribed to 13 more, but there
are a lot of other servers which run Lists, and this
is one of them, so the rules are different.

Go to the bottom of your email, and you'll find both
the List mailing address, and a url which will take
you over to a website which will allow you to access
our archives, as well as other things. Make yourself
familiar with it, and you're on your way to having a
clue about how this whole Internet mess works ;-)

Howewver, FYI, the idea behind a mailing List is that
an entire group of interested people all get the same
messages and share the same information. This is
normally done in individual emails, or sometimes in
Digests, which are simply collections of individual
emails, and allow the person receiving them to respond
to them, ignore them, save them, or delete them.

Hope this helps ;-)
