The Ban-GEF list!
Our goal is to ban the introduction of genetically engineered organisms from the world's food supplies.
PLEASE save this message. It will come in helpful if you ever need to change your subcription status.
Unlike many lists, we have set this service up so that there's only one address to remember for most functions. To send a message to everyone on the list, email it to Ban-GEF@lists.txinfinet.com. To change your subscription, send one of the commands below to the same address. These commands are detected by our list robot if they are sent in exactly as explained below, freeing us humans to perform more interesting tasks than changing people's subscriptions all day. Please follow the instructions exactly.
PLEASE be sure that your email is NOT set to auto-respond to incoming mail. You will be unsubscribed with NO notice should this occur.
This listserver supports the following commands. These commands *MUST* be the text in the SUBJECT field of your mail message. (WARNING: if you use these words to begin the subject of your normal messages to the list, the list robot will carry out the request below! ie, if the subject of your message begins with the word "Help", you'll be sent these instructions. If you really need to write one of these commands in the subject line, try replacing one letter with something else - such as the L in "help" with the number 1 - so that the list robot doesn't recognize it as a command.)
