To Change Your Email Address
First things first: does the Society have your new email address?
Take advantage of the Society's Members
Only site to update your email address. Grab the latest
Harmonizer for your "priority code" to get started. Changing your
email address on the Society site does not change it for the Yahoo
Group. Changing it for the Yahoo Group does not change it for the
Society's records. Please do both!
If you still have access to the old
address, you can migrate all of your Yahoo Groups subscriptions by
yourself. The first step is to register with Yahoo Groups so you can
log in to the web site. Once that's done, the process is to associate
the new address with your account, verify it, and switch the groups to
use the new address. This is spelled out on this Yahoo Groups Help Page.
If you no longer have access to the old address, you will have to ask
the moderator to remove it manually. Send an email to
<SenecaLand-owner[at]yahoogroups[dot]com>.
Recommendations for Effective Use of the Group
These are the opinions of the webmaster, and are not to be
taken as rules. They are recommendations to help your
message reach the maximum audience.
- Stay on topic.
- Do not send your message if it is not
primarily of interest to barbershoppers in the Seneca Land District.
If there is too much inappropriate content going through the list,
people will unsubscribe from it. This decreases the audience for
all future mailings.
- Use an informative subject header.
- Announce specifics. Which of the following would you find most
helpful?
- "fwd: Please read"
- "Townsville Chapter Show"
- "Jun 31: Townsville Chapter Show"
- "Jun 31: Townsville Chapter Show ($10)"
- "Jun 31: Townsville Chapter Show ($10) featuring The Vikings"
- Put the most useful part of the email first.
- Some mail systems chop messages that exceed a certain size. Some
people will delete your message unread if they have to scroll down to
get to the useful part. If you are forwarding an email, remove all
headers and mention of previous recipients when possible.
- Avoid sending attachments.
- There is no attachment format that can be read by 100% of the
group's membership. The closest format to universal is PDF, but
that's still won't work for users of services like WebTV or
MailStation. The same goes for word processor formats.
- If you must send an attachment, include as much of the body text
as possible in the email.
- It may not format as prettily, but chances are good the text is
the most important part of that attachment. Your message will reach
more people if you include the relevant text in the body of
the email.
- Links to web pages should have explanations.
- Most people will not click on links unless given sufficient
motivation. Explain what's on the other end. Not all email
users are web proficient, and not all mail systems are web capable, so
it's important to include the relevant text of the web page in
your email.
