FILES - Email Delivery Options
Sometimes your members will need to change their mail options. If your membership requires "Special Notices" as a minimum setting, you can use these examples to inform and remind your members of their settings. Simply copy and paste... and feel free to edit as necessary!
***Replace all XXX references with your local group name***
Example #1 - Mail Delivery Options
When
you sign up for XXX Freecycle(TM) at Yahoo! Groups, there are a few e-mail
options available to you. One is individual e-mail, which is just that. You
get every single email that comes through the list. Second is Daily Digest.
This takes 25 individual emails and condenses them into a single e-mail. One
downfall to this option is you may miss an item you want. Third is Special Notices.
This means you go to Yahoo! Groups and log into the XXX list to see the messages.
In order to change your settings, YOU have to log into your Yahoo! Groups account
and change the settings yourself. At a minimum, you MUST have Special Notices
set to your account. This ensures that any ADMIN announcements are sent to you.
Sometimes we have the need to make important announcements regarding the group
so we have set this rule as a requirement. The XXX Freecycle Moderators reserve
the right to make changes as necessary to enforce this rule.
Thank you,

Example #2 - Mail Delivery Options - On Site Instructions
It
looks like you are set to receive individual emails. To change your option to
Daily Digest (so all the emails will be put together up into a nice neat single
package once per day) here's what you do:
First, log into the XXX Freecycle(TM) site. On the top of the page you will see the big red YAHOO! logo and beneath that, your name. Next to your name there is a link that reads "edit membership". This takes you to the page that allows you to change your method of message delivery, format and e-mail notification.
For message delivery, you may choose one of the following:
As a minimum, we request that you at least keep the Special Notices option. This will give you no mail except for Special Notices initiated by the Owners and Mods. It's mostly to keep in touch about special issues. To get a condensed version of all daily posts, click on Daily Digest. As always, don't forget to click SAVE CHANGES at the bottom of the page. That does it!
Email one of your moderators if you have questions!

Example #4 - Mail Delivery Options - All Options + Unsubscribe
If
you have a Yahoo account, you can change your method of e-mail delivery online.
Go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/
Click on your group(s) home page. Your member ID and Yahoo email address appears in the upper left hand corner of the page. Click the link beside it that says "Edit Membership". This takes you to the page that allows you to change your method of message delivery, format, and email notification.
For message delivery choose one of the following:
Note - some groups require the Special Notices as a minimum. Please check with your local group guidelines for clarification **
Don't forget to "Save Changes" before leaving the page!
If you truly want to unsubscribe, there is a link on the same page that reads "Leave Group". Click on that and you will be removed from the group. Please allow up to 72 hours for all mail to stop being sent. Yahoo can be a little slow to disengage.
If you do not have a Yahoo account, you can send an email address to:
XXX-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
If any of these methods for leaving the group do not work, send us an email response and we'll remove you outright. Thank you.
