Posting Tips - RailNet

B. Posting Steps Sending an announcement message to the Listserver is pretty much like sending an email to anyone else, except for a few special steps for your first few messages. Posting Steps Step 1: Type The Body Type in your announcement like a normal email Please observe the Email Address Guidelines below. Step 2: Include Any Attachments Please don't attach photos or flyers unless they are in JPEG or GIF or PDF format, and they are compressed to total size preferably no larger than 100 K. Step 3: Address It Address it to: RailNet@yahoogroups.com Put this address into your address book, so you get it right the next time. Step 4: BCC Yourself You'll receive a copy of the message that you can compare with the one that comes through the Listserver. For The First 3 Times You Sent Messages Step 5: BCC The List Moderator Send me a "blind carbon" copy (use BCC button) the first 3 times at ({{email removed Jan. 2016, to avoid unneeded SPAM}} REASON: If the post does not work, then I can examine what you sent. Put this address into your address book, so you get it right the next time. Step 6: SEND the message. When you "post" (send a message) to the Listserver, it then distributes your message to all subscribers. Yahoo scans your message for viruses, adds the headers and footers and sometimes their advertisements, and sometimes changes your fonts and indentation in unexpected and undesired ways.

F. Email Address Guidelines Including Your Email Address In The Body You can include your own email address in the BODY of the message . . . if you are willing to risk Spammers possibly being able to see it on the Listserver's web archive page. REASON: The web page archive will truncate the sender's address, but it may sometimes display email addresses in the body. See message 25 in the test listserver as an example. Including Other People's Email Addresses In The Body Please don't include anyone else's email in the body of the message, unless you have their permission to do so. Curbing Abuse Announcers who repeatedly break the above guidelines, may have their posting privileges restricted or removed.
