How to subscribe to a list

return to top

By email:	Send an email--from the email address you want to subscribe--to: subscribe-wvcannounce@lists.stc.org subscribe-wvctalk@lists.stc.org Note: These instructions are for the WVC Announcements and WVCTALK lists only. Please go back to the "Technical Communication Resources - Email Lists" page to subscribe to WVCJOBS or WVCGALLEY. Email subscriptions must be sent from the same address that is being subscribed or unsubscribed on the Lyris list (i.e. email address tarzan@server.com can send an email to subscribe tarzan@server.com to a list, but jane@server.com cannot send an email to subscribe tarzan@server.com to a list). Leave the subject line and the body of the email blank. You will receive a confirmation email requesting you to reply to the server. You must reply within 7 days. This verifies your email address and intent to join the list. Example: If your email address is, bob@server.com, you would send: subscribe-wvcannounce@lists.stc.org - this will subscribe bob@server.com to the wvcannounce list.
