You cannot post to this list (though we do welcome submissions of relevant material).

To join the PFC-News list, send a blank email to PFC-News-subscribe@lists.pfc.org.uk

[top]Some common questions

  1. Why am I not receiving the list?
    You may not be subscribed, or your subscription may have lapsed because too many messages were bounced.  Try joining the list again; see joining the list, above.  If that doesn’t work, email the list administrators: listadmin@pfc.org.uk
  2. Why are my posts not getting through to the list?
    Because you are not allowed to post to the list ! See sending mail to the list, above.
  3. I’ve changed my email address, and want to change my subscription to my new address.
    From your new email account, just send a message to the server asking to join PFC-NEWS (instructions above). When your new subscription is confirmed, send a message from your old email account (if you still have access to it) to cancel that subscription.
    If that doesn’t work for you, just send a message to the list admins at listadmin@pfc.org.uk, and please remember to tell us what you old address was and what your new one is.
  4. How can I get a list of other subscribers?
    You can’t.  We keep this information confidential.
  5. Where are the list archives? How can I retrieve old postings?
    Full archives of this list are available on the web.  They are also searchable.
  6. Why can’t I have full civil rights now?
    We’re working on it :) And we need your help.
