Subscribing and Unsubscribing

 

(Un)Subscribing to FINAID-L using a Web Interface

A generalized web interface is available for subscribing to FINAID-L.  It is located at:

http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=finaid-l&A=1

Using this interface, a new subscriber can select various options for the subscription settings, such as digest or index.  Some minimal instructions are provided on the pages.

Additionally, a subscriber must also establish a password.  When used along with the subscriber's email address, it provides a mechanism for changing your subscription without utilizing a confirmation via e-mail.

 

(Un)Subscribing to FINAID-L using an E-Mail Client

Whether you are using the email client built into your web browser, or a standalone email package, you can subscribe or unsubscribe via the following two addresses.  In most instances, you should be able to click on these addresses to initiate an email message to perform the subscribe or unsubscribe request.  If you are unable to do that, you can cut-and-paste the address into the To: area using your email client.  In both instances, you will be sending an email to the appropriate address.  There is no subject specified, nor is there any text contained in the body of the email.

Note: These commands are being interpreted by a computer.  There is no human intervention.

Note: Please disable your signature function before sending any messages to Listserv.  They will not be interpreted properly.

 

To subscribe use:  FINAID-L-Subscribe-Request@lists.psu.edu

Example:

To: FINAID-L-Subscribe-Request@lists.psu.edu
From: Firstname Lastname <You@YourSchool.edu>
Subject: (none)

The Listserv software will respond  with a confirmation request.  Simply use your email reply function to reply, placing an OK (no quotes) on the first line of your reply. Do not include the body of text from the original message.  The OK should be the only text.

Example:

To: Listserv@lists.psu.edu
From: Firstname Lastname <You@YourSchool.edu>
Subject: (none)

OK

 

To unsubscribe use: FINAID-L-Unsubscribe-Request@lists.psu.edu

Example:

To: FINAID-L-Unsubscribe-Request@lists.psu.edu
From: Firstname Lastname <You@YourSchool.edu>
Subject: (none)

In this instance, you will receive a confirmation of your unsubscribe request.  However, there is no request for you to confirm your intentions.

Note: If your email address has changed since you first subscribed, Listserv will be unable to process your unsubscribe request since it will not recognize you.  In this instance, you will need to request assistance from the listowners at

FINAID-L-Request@lists.psu.edu
