> Send your message to olympus@xxxxxxxxxx
>
> 1.1 TO SUBSCRIBE TO A LIST:
>
> Send a message to olympus-request@xxxxxxxxxx. In the subject
> field, enter "subscribe" (without the quotes).

> You will receive an email, on the email address you wish to

> Send a message to olympus-request@xxxxxxxxxx. In the subject
> field, enter "unsubscribe" (without the quotes).
>
> 1.3 TO GET A DIGEST EVERY DAY:
>
> Send a message to olympus-request@xxxxxxxxxx. In the subject
> field, enter "set digest" (without the quotes).
> This will turn on digests, and you will receive a digest

> INSTEAD of digest, NOT IN ADDITION TO.
>
> 2.2 TO STOP GETTING DIGESTS BUT CONTINUE TO GET NORMAL POSTS:
