The Partnership LISTSERV is a powerful communication tool that offers all of the Partnership Workshop participants, and ultimately all members of the Partnership Program, the opportunity to post suggestions or questions to the entire Partnership community.

To begin, we have the LISTSERV set so that responses to LISTSERV emails are directed only to the original sender, and not to the entire community. This means that if you reply to a message, only the original sender will see it.

We have established this default to limit "inbox clutter" for LISTSERV members. However, if you want the entire community to see your reply or an individual message you have received (and we ask that you use discretion in making this choice), you can forward the message to the entire LISTSERV. You can also access an archive of all group email messages sent via the LISTSERV, though not individual responses to those group emails. Instructions appear below.

We have taken the liberty of registering workshop participants for the LISTSERV and granting them access to the LISTSERV mailing list.

You can unsubscribe by following the instructions below. You can also grant other members of your organization with access to the LISTSERV by providing them with the appropriate instructions appearing below. However, we ask that you not pass on the LISTSERV address to other individuals or groups that are not members of the Partnership Program. Instead, please direct these individuals to PM/WRA.

If you have questions or comments about the LISTSERV, including about the instructions appearing below, please send an email to maic@jmu.edu.

Below are some LISTSERV instructions.

1. Sending Messages: Subscribers can send messages to other subscribers by sending an email to Partnership-L@LISTSERV.JMU.EDU. Messages can only be sent from subscribed email accounts.
2. Subscribe/Unsubscribe: Send an email to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.JMU.EDU with the following quoted (" ") text below.
• To Subscribe: "SUBSCRIBE Partnership-L" in the email body
• To Unsubscribe: "SIGNOFF Partnership-L" in the email body
• More information on LISTSERV commands can be found by sending the text "INFO REFCARD" to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.JMU.EDU.
• Note: Please delete any signature text at the end of your emails. This will cause error emails to be returned to you.
3. Junk Mail and filters: LISTSERV messages will often be treated as junk mail and thus excluded from your email inbox unless you set your email otherwise. You may find it helpful to create a filter to funnel Partnership LISTSERV messages into a partnership mailbox. To set up a filter in your email client, specify that email messages with Partnership-L@LISTSERV.JMU.EDU in the "From:" field are sent to the partnership mailbox. If you have difficulty setting up the filter or for more information, contact your systems administrator.
4. Message archives: An archive is maintained of every original message sent to the entire LISTSERV. To access the archive, visit http://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/partnership-l.html.
