How to Subscribe

For VTEMSD3

1) Send e-mail to: listserv@list.uvm.edu

2) on the first line of the body of the message type the following:  

    sub VTEMSD3 <your first name> <your last name>

do not include the < or > (these are to indicate your name). An  example, if Kent
Hurt wishes to subscribe, the following would be included in the body of the
message:

    sub vtemsd3 Kent Hurt

3) FOR SUBSCRIBING ONLY: If you use an automatic signature generation with
your mailer turn it off - listservs won't understand your signature lines and will
just give you error messages. Don't use your mailer's confirmation of reading or
auto-reply features, these are also not understood by the listserv.

4) Once UVM receives the request to subscribe, a confirmation message will be
returned. This confirmation must be replied to within 48 hours.  To confirm,
either reply to the confirmation message with the word "ok" in the body of the
message (do not include the quotes), or if you have access to the WWW simply
visit the site provided in the confirmation e-mail.  You will not receive messages
from the listserv until confirmed, and if you do not confirm within 48 hours your
name will be dropped from the list.

Etiquette for Sending Messages

These listservs are a public forum. Messages sent will be seen by all who have
subscribed. As in any other public forum, proper conduct is expected. Use
appropriate language that includes both tone of  language as well as the words
used. Although "tone", and in some cases the choice of words, are subjective
please use the following rule of  thumb: be respectful of others and refrain from
profanity.

Each listserv has a specific purpose.  Do not use these forums for non-EMS
related issues or for the solicitation of goods for personal profit other than those
services sanctioned by the VTEMSD#3 Board (i.e. please do advertise the sale
of puppies or a used light-bar). These listservs are moderated by Greg Thweatt,
through the kindness of the University of Vermont. Please forward questions
regarding the use of this listserv to Greg at: gthweatt@uvm.edu).

All messages sent on the listserv have been archived by the host (UVM) on a
month-by-month listing.  Note that a keyword search feature is provided when
searching for specific messages via these archives.  To view an archive click on
