Q: How do I remove myself from the mailing list?

• Follow the instructions here

Q: How do I start a new topic and send it to the mailing list?

• Start by composing an email as you normally would and send it to personal_submersibles@psubs.org with an appropriate subject line.   Your email will automatically be forwarded to everyone else on the mailing list, including yourself.   Please note that messages will only be accepted by our server from the email account that you used when you first subscribed to the mailing list.   If you have multiple email accounts, make sure you use the correct one or your message will not be accepted.

Q: How do I respond to an existing topic?

• Simply hit the "Reply" button provided by the software you use to read your email.

Q: I was receiving messages from the mailing list, but all of a sudden they stopped being delivered. What happened?

• The discussion group does "go quiet" every once in a while and it's possible that nobody has written anything. Check the archives to see if there are any current ongoing discussions. If you find a relatively new archive that was never delivered to you, read the following paragraph and then try resubscribing to the mailing list.

• Your email address might have been deleted from the mailing list due to delivery errors at your mail server.   Perhaps your mail server was down when our server attempted to deliver a message to your user account, perhaps your user account is out of disk space and is no longer accepting email messages, or maybe you didn't pay last months invoice and your ISP has shut your account off.   Whatever the reason, if a delivery error is returned by your mail server more than once within a reasonable period of time we simply delete your email address from our database to prevent the errors from continuing.   But don't take it personally.   When you have the problem resolved with your ISP and/or mail server, you can resubscribe to the PSUBS mailing list.

Q: I receive email messages of discussions that other group members are having, but when I try to send a response or start a new topic, it doesn't get delivered to the group.

• The mailing list software is configured to only allow messages from the same email address that you provided when you subscribed to the discussion group. Make sure that the address you are using to send your messages is the same email address that you provided when you subscribed to the discussion group. If you want to submit messages from multiple email addresses you'll need to register each one with the mail list server through the subscription process.

• The mailing list software is configured to reject any reply or topic containing more than 40,000 characters. Most binary files (.gif .jpg) easily exceed the 40,000 character limit and will not be delivered to mailing list members. Make sure that your reply or topic contains less than 40,000 characters and do not include inline images or file attachments. If you have a photo or document that you want to contribute to the group, send it to the WebMaster for inclusion on the PSUBS web site.
