There are times, however that you would like to send the same message to many people and conduct an ongoing group conversation. Address book aliases can make the process of sending a message to a group easier, but everyone on the group must keep their address books current. An email discussion list is a group of email addresses that can reached by sending a single message to one address - the list address. Messages sent to the list are distributed to each of the list's subscribers.
Participants can subscribe or unsubscribe themselves to the list at any time.
By sending messages to the list, subscribers can have ongoing discussions with each other and need only keep track of one address. Email discusiion lists are excellant tools for distributing information, discussing a project among several participants, and exchanging questions and answers with other users of a product or service. If you would like Michigan Coment to host a discussion list for your organization, simply complete the Moderator Agreement and send it to Michigan Comnet. For more information on how to host a discussion list, contact Allison Bach or Meredith Bull .
