How the list operates.
HOW THE LIST WORKS.
The Finservuk-list is an email discussion list, the mechanics of operation are as follows.:
When you send an e-mail to the list address, a copy of your message is sent by the listserver to all the members of the list to read.
You will receive a confirmation that the message has been sent to list members. Any list member who reads your message may either delete it, save it or reply to it.
If they use their Reply button their reply will in turn be sent to the list address and the list manager will immediately despatch a copy to all list members. This person will also then get a confirmation from the listserver that the message has been delivered to X List members.
List members will respond to the original message, then follow up either to the list or by mailing to you privately "off the list".
It is perfectly normal for several topics (threads) to be under discussion at the same time with different members posting and participating in the discussion on any or all of the threads.
New members unfamiliar with lists may wish to to "lurk", reading the messages and get a feel for the ebb and flow of discussion before participating. It is recommended that a new member posting for the first time should read the FAQ beforehand and to give a small introduction in their post. This can be as simple as "Fred Bloggs IFA with Sesame"
We do recommend that you mange your mail by using rules and filters to sperate list mail from your normal mail. The FAQ will have information on how to set up Outlook and others email clients to file list mail in folders and help you manage the discussions.
