In January,
Pat started a Yahoo Group for the purpose of email newsletter
distribution.� There are over 700 people
who receive email newsletter notifications.�
Earthlink, our ISP restricts the number of email addresses that can be
on a single message. She had to create 17 distribution lists and send the
notification message out 17 times.��� By
mid-March only about 200 people had signed up for the Group, so she decided to
abandon the idea and delete the Yahoo Group.�
She will distribute newsletters via Earthlink in the usual way.� She will explore other methods of
distribution in hopes of finding a way to send just one message to all 700
people, but for now will continue to send the message to multiple distribution
lists.

winds and smooth sailing.
