Mailing Lists

There are a number of public electronic mailing lists serving the Green Party of Canada . They are automatic lists that are managed by a volunteer at Conservation Co-operative Homes.

Before subscribing to your first list:

recommend reading this Netiquette article
follow GPC email list code of conduct and moderator guidelines as adopted by Federal Council
If you have questions about these policies, please email The ConsCoOp Majordomo Owner.
don't post attachments, and avoid HTML messages

To subscribe to any of the lists, send e-mail to majordomo - at - conscoop.ottawa.on.ca with a subscription request in the body of the message. DO NOT SEND SUBSCRIPTION REQUESTS TO THE LIST ADDRESSES AS THEY WILL BE DELETED. The subject line of the email is ignored. An example body text would be:

		subscribe gpc-general "Josephine Q. Public" <jqpublic@email.com>

If your email program insists on breaking or wrapping long lines, you can write instead:

		subscribe gpc-general \
	"Josephine Q. Public" \
	<jqpublic@email.com>

You would substitute the list name to which you wish to subscribe and your name and your email address. If you do not include your full real name, your request is likely to be discarded.

IMPROPERLY FORMATTED REQUESTS WILL BE SILENTLY DROPPED BY THE SERVER. Please check your punctuation carefully, particularly the exact type of brackets around the email address.

To unsubscribe, simply substitute the command 'unsubscribe' for 'subscribe'.

To get help on using majordomo, simply put

	help

in the body of the message.

For more complete documentation on using the mailing list manager including archive access, please see the Majordomo user documentation.
