LISTSERV Mailing List
[LOGIN]
The LISTSERV mailinglist ora-list is designed for
group communication and it is open to past and present
students participating in the Ontario/Rhône-Alpes Student
Exchange Program (ORA). Its objective is to help with any
question or comment regarding every aspect of the program,
from planning to living in the host environment. The list's
main focus is communication among
the students. It will not be moderated by the Program Office.
However, any abuse
of the list might result in exclusion. Before you post questions
try to find answers in the archive of
the list.
Subscription
The ora-list is "closed" i.e. not public. Every
student in the program (from Ontario and Rhône-Alpes) will
automatically be subscribed to the list. (If you were not
subscribed and believe you should be, please contact the "list
owners"
at <ORA-LIST-request@YORKU.CA> in
English.) However, everyone can unsubscribe (sign
off) from the list again.
Most important features
 Sending
a message to the list
To send a message to all ORA Exchange Participants who are currently
subscribed to the list, send an email to ORA-LIST@YORKU.CA.
This is called "sending mail to the list" because
you send an email to a single address and LISTSERV makes
copies for all people who have subscribed. This address
(ORA-LIST@YORKU.CA) is also called the "list address." Please
note, that for security reasons no attachments and no HTML
files are allowed on the list.
Unsubscribing
from the list
You may leave the list at any time. Just send a blank e-mail with
the text SIGNOFF ORA-LIST in the
body of the message to LISTSERV@YORKU.CA or
- if you have retrieved a password - sign off in the Subscriber's
Corner. You must use the same e-mail
address, you have
submitted to the ORA Program Office.
Subscription Options & Archive
In the Subscriber's
Corner & Online Mailing List Archives you
can manage your list subscription settings, browse the archives of the ORA list, as well as change your e-mail address.
You can also

Annoyed with too many e-mails?
Users are automatically subscribed to the list by the Program
Office. This way every participant in the program has the
chance to use the list. If you do not wish staying on the
list you may, of course, leave the list by signing
off.
It might be, however, that you actually like to stay on the
list but do not like receiving that many e-mails and/or are
worried that your mailbox will fill up too quickly after
periods of e-mail absence. If this is the case you may wish
to adjust your personal
subscription settings which enable you to regulate the
e-mail traffic in different ways. (Most useful:
Subscription
Type: Digest Mode,
Miscellaneous: Mail delivery disabled temporarily. For
more information about the settings click on the sub-headings.
The list is supposed to be "self regulated" by
the members. Do you disagree with the topics of postings?
Let everybody in the list know. Let's have a discussion about
it!
 Please
do not contact the Program Office with requests regarding
the list. Read the HELP manuals first. If the sign off
methods described above do not work (and only then!) you
may contact the list owner <ORA-LIST-request@YORKU.CA> for
further assistance (please, write in English).
