> If you do not already have a password for the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU server, we
> recommend that  you set one  now. A LISTSERV  password is linked  to your
> subscribed address  (the email address which received this message)
> and is valid for  all lists to which you are
> subscribed on the LISTSERV.SYR.EDU server.  The same password can be used
> for email  commands as well  as for access to  the web interface  for the
> lists to which you are subscribed.
>
> To set your password for this server, visit:
> https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?GETPW1=.

> *****************************************
> * INTERACTING WITH LISTSERV VIA THE WWW *

> Subscription settings  and preferences  can be  set using  LISTSERV's web
> interface. Once  you have set a  server password as explained  above, you
> may log in and set your preferences at:

> NCSG-DISCUSS-signoff-request@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU.

> You can  also tell  LISTSERV how you  want it to  confirm the  receipt of
> messages that you send  to the list. To send yourself a  copy of your own
> messages, send a SET NCSG-DISCUSS REPRO command.
>
> Alternatively, to have LISTSERV send  you a short acknowledgement instead
> of  the entire  message, send  a  SET NCSG-DISCUSS  ACK NOREPRO  command.
> Finally,  you  can turn  off  acknowledgements  completely with  the  SET
> NCSG-DISCUSS NOACK NOREPRO command.

> at: https://listserv.syr.edu/scripts/wa.exe?SUBED1=NCSG-DISCUSS.
>
> Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
> have been  set to "REPRO"  rather than  the usual LISTSERV  defaults. For
> more information  about subscription  options, send a  QUERY NCSG-DISCUSS
> command to [log in to unmask].
