Mailing
Lists (Listservs)
Mailing lists are informal
discussion groups that allow information exchange via email. To join
such a discussion group, you need to subscribe by sending a specifically
formatted email message to a computer that will add you to the distribution
list for that group (some groups provide an online subscription form
as an alternative to sending an email to sign up). Once you're on the list, you
will receive email notes from other members of the group, and you can
send your own notes so that everyone in the group can read them and
respond to them.
NYSBIRDS-L UPDATED 11/19/17
NYSBirds-L
is an email list focused on birds and birding in New York State.
It is not for the discussion of pet birds or falconry, except as
far as these topics directly relate to wild birds. The primary purpose
of the list is to disseminate information about bird sightings in
New York State in a timely manner. Questions and limited discussions
on topics such as bird behavior, identification, conservation, and
distribution, especially as these subjects relate to birds in New
York State, are welcomed and encouraged. The List is not for the
discussion of pet birds.
To join the
list, send an email to
, leave subject line blank, and type in the body of the message:
JOIN “firstname
lastname”
Where firstname
lastname is
to be replaced by your own first name and last name.
INCLUDE THE QUOTATION MARKS AROUND YOUR
NAME.
The listprocessor
is an automated system and will extract your email address from the
header of your message. Since a computer, not a person, will
read your message, additional words to make the message more polite
are unnecessary and will interfere with the computer's ability to
find the information it's looking for.
You will receive a confirmation message after you send your email.
