Purpose

The GAPICKEN-L Mailing List is an e-mail list aimed at furthering genealogical research for those whose families might have pioneered–settled in–or just passed through this area of the North Georgia mountains.

Two Versions to Choose From
GAPICKEN-L is for individual messages to be delivered to your e-mail address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, you will receive a copy of the message.

To subscribe send an e-mail message to:
GAPICKEN-L-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe

(OR)

GAPICKEN-D is for a digest of several accumulated messages to be delivered to your email address. As each subscriber to the list sends messages to the list address, they are put into a digest to be delivered later. The digest is generated approximately once a day and delivered to digest subscribers. This option is handy for people who don’t want multiple messages to accumulate in their mail box.

To subscribe send an email message to:
GAPICKEN-D-request@rootsweb.com with one word in the body of the message: subscribe

Email addresses to use

There are two separate e-mail addresses to use in order to participate in this list:
To send MESSAGES to ALL subscribers on either version of the list use:
GAPICKEN-L@rootsweb.com

To send COMMANDS to the computer & SmartList software that runs this list use:
GAPICKEN-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages)
GAPICKEN-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages)

Sending Commands to SmartList & Rootsweb

To subscribe, unsubscribe or make other changes to your mailing list subscription, you will send “commands” to the computer & the SmartList software on RootsWeb.
GAPICKEN-L-request@rootsweb.com (for individual messages)
GAPICKEN-D-request@rootsweb.com (for a digest of multiple messages)

To manage your subscription, send an e-mail message to the address above and use any of the following commands, typed within the body of your e-mail message. Type ONLY one of the commands as it is shown below. Do not add any extra words or lines of text: subscribe (or) unsubscribe

Do NOT use a signature file attached to the e-mail message. The software reads your message and tries to answer each command it finds. When it runs across your signature file it gets a bit confused and will send you a message stating something like ‘Do not recognize command ‘Jones’. Do not recognize command “Smith”, etc.
