*** Changes to the NW-Mailing-List ***

[NW Mailing List]

Ron-

 

I have saved many email messages from the current mailing list in a
subfolder in my Outlook inbox  for future reference as they are a great
source of information. When the list is switched to the groups.io platform
will I still be able to access those saved emails?

Subject: *** Changes to the NW-Mailing-List ***

 

As the NW-Mailing-List approaches 30 years of existence, the time has come
to make some changes.

The Mailman software which has been running the list for over 21 years has
become unsupportable. Complying with the increasing number and complexity of
anti-spam and other e-mail filters on the Internet has reached a breaking
point. Our provider Pair.com announced that they will end support for
mailing lists at the end of this year.

After reviewing our options, we determined that groups.io is our best option
for continuing to maintain the NW-Mailing-List.
Groups.io expanded features such as file and photo sharing should make the
NW-Mailing-List a better tool for sharing our collective knowledge and
resources. Another consideration was that groups.io will not resell our
email addresses or target marketing material to you.

Sometime Wednesday you will receive an email from Groups.io notifying you
that you have been added to the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A link is
included in the email for logging in and establishing an account password.
(Yes another darn password!) Fortunately you will not need the password to
participate in the NW-Mailing-List. Messages will continue to be email based
although now a web interface is available for those that prefer that choice.
The difference will be that emails will be sent to
<nw-mailing-list at groups.io <mailto:nw-mailing-list at groups.io> > instead of
to the nwhs.org domain. 

As we make this transition, check your email spam settings and make sure the
address  <mailto:nw-mailing-list at groups.io> <nw-mailing-list at groups.io> is
whitelisted so you will see all the messages from the list.

If you are already using groups.io with the same e-mail address,
NW-Mailing-List will show up in Your Groups.
If you are new to groups.io, please click on the link included in the email
to establish a password to go with your email address. This will unlock a
web interface where you can customize the way messages are sent and received
from your account.

If you want to opt out of the new mailing list, email Ron at
<mailto:davis at nwhs.org> <davis at nwhs.org> before noon on Wednesday. If you
miss the deadline, there will be a link in the groups.io email to
unsubscribe.

Thank you all for participating and contributing to this amazing source of
N&W/VGN information.

Ron Davis
