Many times, people have questions that are not answered in class. Other times people will ask questions outside of class and I expect that there are many other students with the same questions. This mailing list will give you the opportunity to ask questions and then let me broadcast the answers to all students. That way everyone will have the same information.
FIRST: It is critical that you subscribe to the list server for this class by the end of this week -- tomorrow would be best! If you do not have an e-mail account, go to ST 126 and get one. Then see me or get your roommate or one of the lab assistants to help you use the e-mail system.
To subscribe: go into your favorite e-mail system. Address the message to
listproc@wiu.edu
Then put nothing on the subject line. The message is the single line:
| FOR LEJA 200 | subscribe leja200 yourfirstname yourlastname |
| FOR LEJA 300 | subscribe leja300 yourfirstname yourlastname |
| FOR LEJA 500 | subscribe leja500 yourfirstname yourlastname |
You will get a message back (in about an hour or so) from ECN confirming that you have subscribed. Print out and keep this message as it has a great deal of information that you will probably want to refer to.
Now you are going to be getting e-mail, so it is important that you read it two or three times a week.
How to use it? If you have a general question that others in the course might also have, send it to
leja200@wiu.edu if you are in the LEJA 200 course
leja300@wiu.edu if you are in the LEJA 300 course
leja500@wiu.edu if you are in the LEJA 500 course
Like most typical electronic mailing lists, this list has three addresses you should
remember:
List Address - This is the address to which you send any messages that you intend for me to see and to be read by all of the list subscribers. Remember send it to:
leja200@wiu.edu if you are in the
LEJA 200 course
leja300@wiu.edu if you are in the LEJA
300 course
leja500@wiu.edu if you are in the LEJA 500 course
Pick your course number from the above list and send your e-mail to that
address.
Administrative Address - listproc2@wiu.edu - This is the address to which you send any commands or requests that affect your subscription to the list. Commands sent to the Administrative Address should have no subject or signature.
I advise you to keep this posting because it contains frequently used commands, such as how to leave the list and FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) which you will find useful over time. I encourage you to read it completely and print it out.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
************************************************************************
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET TO MY MAIL FOR DAYS, AND MY BOX IS FULL. WILL THAT CAUSE A PROBLEM?
Yes, it will. The returned messages will cause you to be unsubscribed automatically. The best thing to do is to use the POSTPHONE option. Then resume receipt of messages when you are able to read your mail regularly.
Other FAQ's will be posted as they are received.
Let me know if you have problems.
