Discussion List
Introduction
There are a discussion list for Cataloger's Desktop.
It is used by CDS to send out product announcements, as well as a
discussion forum that allows subscribers to communicate with
one another. You can join and leave this list at any time by
following the directions below. All mailing list functions can be
performed via email or by using a web interface. We reserve the
right to moderate these lists and to deny service to anyone who, in
our sole discretion, is acting improperly.
Passwords
In order to use the web interface to join or
leave a list, change your list settings or post a message, you must
first create a password for your mailing list account. Please note
that your email list account is separate from your Desktop on the
Web account. This means that the password you choose for your mailing
list account will not affect the password of your Desktop account.
After you have selected your password, you will receive a
confirmation notice by email. Your new password will not take effect
until you have responded to this confirmation notice.
Desktop Discussion List
The "desktop" discussion list is available in both regular
and digest form. Every time a new message is sent to desktop, it is forwarded
to all list subscribers. Alternately, you can receive the messages in
a single daily message. In that case, all of the messages that have been
sent to the list in the past 24 hours are combined and mailed to you
as a single email. That way, you receive a single email instead of
several separate messages.
In order to receive the desktop list in digest form, you
must already be a subscriber. Once you have subscribed, you can
select the digest option using either the web interface (using the
"change settings" link, below) or by sending the appropriate command
via email (see below).
