Selected OLAC-List Command Options



NOTE: Send all commands to: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU

SUBSCRIBE OLAC-LIST <your name> - To join the discussion list

UNSUBSCRIBE OLAC-LIST - To unsubscribe from (or signoff of) the discussion list. SIGNOFF OLAC-LIST does the same thing (N.B.: Do not add your name or e-mail address to the UNSUBSCRIBE or SIGNOFF command -- if you do, your request will be rejected by the LISTSERV software).

* SET <mail distribution option> Commands:
SET OLAC-LIST MAIL - to receive individual mail messages as they are posted to the list (default setting).
SET OLAC-LIST NOMAIL- to stop list mail from being delivered to your address; to resume mail, issue the SET OLAC-LIST MAIL command.
SET OLAC-LIST DIGEST- to receive daily digests of all messages posted to the list (1750 line limit).
SET OLAC-LIST INDEX- to receive daily index summaries of mail posted to the list.
* NOTE about SET Options: You can only SET one mail distribution option at a time. You have to choose one option that best suits your needs at a given time. If you were set to DIGEST or INDEX and then set NOMAIL, sending the command SET OLAC-LIST MAIL will cause your mail distribution to revert to the previous setting.

QUERY OLAC-LIST - Displays your mail distribution option settings (i.e., whether or not you are set to "digest", or "nomail", et al.); will also tell you whether or not you are subscribed to the list FROM THE ADDRESS FROM WHICH YOUR COMMAND WAS SENT.

INDEX OLAC-LIST - Causes LISTSERV to send you a list of all notebooks and other files in the OLAC-LIST archives.

SET OLAC-LIST REPRO/NOREPRO - Governs whether or not LISTSERV distributes a copy of each of your own messages to you as part of the OLAC-LIST distribution. REPRO is the default setting. If you do NOT want to receive copies of your own messages send LISTSERV the SET OLAC-LIST NOREPRO command.

INFO REFCARD - To retrieve a more complete listing of General User Commands (i.e., the LISTSERV Reference Card) for LISTSERV 1.8c.

** The above commands can be sent by sending the command as a one line message to: LISTSERV@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU. Multiple commands may be sent in a single mail message as long as each command is on a separate line. Please don't send LISTSERV commands to the OLAC-LIST address. The LISTSERV address is for issuing COMMANDS, while the OLAC-LIST address is for messages intended for the distribution to the subscribership.
