From: H. C. Covington, Editor October 21, 2004 Subject: A reminder about setting your email delivery options Dear Member: We welcome your membership in THE HOMELESS NEWS DIGEST - An applied research site compiling published and broadcast news on the 'Life Disaster' called "Homelessness" in the United States. Current research indicates that 2.3 to 3.5 million people experience an episode of homelessness every year, while 800,000 to 900,000 people are without shelter every night - right here in America. For another year, this applied research site will archive direct news on homelessness and affordable housing from published news sources only. Articles will be posted without comment or opinion. If you wish to discuss or make comments about an article, please post your email to hcc@... and we will try to respond to your comments or questions. If you are interested in "those called homeless," please help by submitting leads for published newspaper, magazine, radio or TV articles via email or fax - even if you are not an active member or subscriber. To submit a news lead (or a full article) in any format, email or Fax it - 24 hrs a day - 7 days a week - to HomelessNews@yahoogroups.com or send it to e-Fax 1-775-306-6428. Each posting should include the "Head Line" of the article, the name of the news source, city/state, and your name. (Please include the news source web address if possible.) To manage your personal membership, please select the way you would like to receive your copies of the Homeless News articles each day: 1. Drop us a note, tell us your selection, and we will set the delivery system for you - OR - 2. Go to the Web Homepage at: http://egroups.com/group/HomelessNews and click on [Edit My Membership] in the top right corner. This will take you to the normal selection settings that follow: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 1. "Daily Digest" [Send all news articles in one large plain text email every day] Articles are delivered in one plain text email batch (of up to 25 articles) once a day. This is a good option if you want to receive only one e-mail message a day, but want to have a complete plain text copy of every article delivered to be read "off-line" from your computers hard disk. Note: The average length of this version is 20 to 25 pages of plain text. ~~~~~~~~~~ 2. "Special Announcement Digest" [One email of the new article 'titles' with live links each day] Email is sent every day as the "SPECIAL NEWS DIGEST" - A daily table of contents of all postings - with live links to individual articles. This is a good option if you do NOT want the full text of all of the news articles downloaded to your computers hard disk every day, but DO want to know of all additions and updates - especially those from your area or subjects of personal interest. With this option, you can access articles online or download specific articles by clicking on the "live link" under each title. OR you can go to the website at: http://eroups.com/group/HomelessNews/messages and just scroll through the articles Note: The average length of this version is one to two printer pages of plain text. ~~~~~~~~~~ 3. "Individual Emails" [Individual articles via email as soon as they are posted 24/7] Messages are delivered individually - in real time - to your inbox. This is the best option if you want to keep up with real time postings of the articles immediately - hour by hour. With this option, you will also receive the Daily Index of "Special Announcements Digest" as described in 2 above. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Editors Note: This is a VERY HIGH VOLUME EMAIL option as an average of 100 to 200 news articles are added every week. Unless you have a site where instant messages are needed, - A N D - unless you have the desire and the capability to handle 20 to 25 individual email articles every day (24/7) we do NOT reccomend this choice.** ~~~~~~~~~~ 4. "No E-mail" [Do not send any email messages] Choose this option if you wish to put your email delivery on "Hold" for a short period - such as periods of travel or vacation. You may also select this option if you wish to review current messages live on the website with no alerts or email sent to you at all. To review an article, go to the website at: http://egroups.com/group/HomelessNews/messages and choose your selections ~~~~~~~~~~ Remember, if you have any difficulty changing the settings, drop us a note, tell us which selection you prefer, and we will be happy to change the settings for you.
