Our Email Discussion/Support Lists
for Multiple System Atrophy/Shy-Drager Syndrome

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This electronic mail list was initiated in 1995 by the Vanderbilt Autonomic Dysfunction Center so that patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and their caregivers could communicate with each other throughout the world. The electronic mail list is open to patients, caregivers, and others who are interested in the Shy-Drager syndrome. Through use of the electronic "party line", anyone can ask a question, answer a question, post information on medication and treatments, share the good and the bad times, etc. A person with a computer and access to email can join the list by subscribing or by having a friend or relative subscribe and relay messages to the list.

Please note that information contained within this electronic forum is not monitored by the Vanderbilt Autonomic Dysfunction Center. The forum is presented as a service and neither constitutes nor implies Vanderbilt University Medical Center endorsement or warranty."

ADVANCED Instructions::
**AFTER** you have sent the command to subscribe above, you may CHOOSE between
THREE DELIVERY OPTIONS:
a) NORMAL email - messages are delivered to you one by one as they are posted. This is the default delivery option. If this is desired, do nothing further after subscribing.
If you want to change back to this from one of the other two options:
send a BLANK email to: shydrager-normal@yahoogroups.com
b) DIGEST version - you will receive all of the days posts bundled together in a larger email to read at your leisure. The advantage to this is that it will not fill up your inbox with 50+ individual emails per day.
If this sounds like what you are looking for:
send a BLANK email to: shydrager-digest@yahoogroups.com
c) NO MAIL - use this to TEMPORARILY stop receiving email (eg. while on VACATION)
Send a BLANK email to: shydrager-nomail@yahoogroups.com
When you RETURN you can reset your mail to NORMAL or DIGEST with the above commands.
3. To PERMANENTLY UNSUBSCRIBE from the list:
Send a BLANK email to: shydrager-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
NOTE: You must reply to the confirmation message for this to take effect. If you resubscribe to the list, remember you must use the SUBSCRIBE command before you choose one of the THREE DELIVERY OPTIONS.
*Consider using the NO MAIL option instead of unsubscribing. It will save you a step when you return to the list.
4. To contact the LIST OWNER for help with any technical problems:
Address an email to shydrager-owner@yahoogroups.com
