Introduction to the Arts Council of the African Studies Association listserv.

The conner_acasa@Indiana.edu listserve was inaugurated on September 30, 1995. Everyone on this listserv can now send messages to all other members by addressing e-mail to Conner_acasa@Indiana.edu, where "conner_acasa" is the name of the mailing list. 'Everyone' now means ANYONE interested in ACASA news that has an e-mail address and/or asks to be on the list. In the future, ACASA may limit access to members, or individuals who qualify -but only if the Board deems restriction necessary. Presently, our listserv is set-up so that anyone may 'subscribe' and messages do not need to be 'approved' first. If the ACASA Listserve grows into the hundreds, we may need to upgrade to a 'global' list. A global list would respond the same way, but the name 'ACASA' would become registered as a unique Internet list (the owner's name could be dropped from the address).

Set-Up Notes
This listserv is administered using Majordomo software running over an Indiana University server. I.U. expects nothing from ACASA to host this.

To subscribe type:
subscribe Conner_acasa
You will be instantly subscribed to the list.

To unsubscribe from the list type:
unsubscribe Conner_acasa [optional address@host.domain]
