Mailing Lists

The best sources of information on Unimogs I've found are the two mailing lists listed below. They are both free to join and offer a wealth of information.

That said, all mailing lists offer a wealth of opinions too, so read carefully and keep a grain of salt handy.

The following four steps are all you need to do to begin using the lists:

1. Subscribe to the Lists.

Visit the hosts website at:
The MOG List

Or send a blank email to:
mogml-subscribe@topica.com

Visit the hosts website at:
The UNI List

Or send a blank email to:
subscribe@unimog.net

2. Know how to Unsubcribe.

If you ever want to remove yourself from
the MOG list, you can send a blank email to:
<mogml-unsubscribe@topica.com>

If you ever want to remove yourself from
the UNI list, you can send mail to:
<Majordomo@unimog.net>
with
unsubscribe unimail
in the body of your email message:

3. Learn How to Participate in a mailing list.

There are a number of things we can do to improve the quality of mailing lists for the benefit of all. Most of these recommendations are simple and require little extra work. If you'd like to read a more detailed rationale for these suggestions, check out the Mailing List Manners 101 and 102 articles published by TidBITS

Email Program Settings Suggestions:

	Turn off features (like VCards) that create attachments.
	Avoid sending HTML-formatted messages to lists.
	Send replies either to the sender or the list, but not both.
	Make sure the time is set properly on your computer.

Writing and Layout Suggestions:

	Don't use all capital letters for more than a word or two.
	Insert blank lines between paragraphs.
	Include full URL schemes, as in <http://www.tidbits.com/>.
	Surround URLs with angle brackets.
	Try to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Message Content Suggestions:

	Never send unsubscribe commands to the list.
	Create and maintain descriptive subject lines.
	Quote original text sparingly in your replies.
	Don't include email attachments unless explicitly allowed.
	Use a short signature containing only essential data.
	Send welcome or congratulation messages via private email.
	Respect other people's news.
	Civility is always worthwhile.

Thanks for helping to keep mailing lists useful and pleasant places!
