THE CIVILIAN EMAIL GROUP

Recently, the civilians of our group have brought the 19th century into the 21st century by creating an online email group. This will facilitate communication within the group and has already been put to very good use. In an email, group “owner” Susan Spiller explains:

We'd like to encourage all civilians in the group to join the 'Civilians
of Company B' Yahoo Group - this is an email group designed to make
communication easier between us - a place to share planning and ideas and
information.....This is NOT a 'chatroom' - it is strictly an email sharing
situation.....
If you already belong to Yahoo, all you need to do is go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CiviliansCompanyB/ and click on "join this
group" and follow those procedures......
If you do not yet belong to Yahoo, you first need to go to www.yahoo.com
and 'become a member'......they'll put you thru a few hoops - you'll need to create an
'identity', which is some sort of 'handle' to be known by (it doesn't need
to be CW related at all, just something that 'works' for you).....That
identity will become "youridentity" @yahoo.com as your yahoo email address.....You
will see an area called "My Account" - go in there and in the email
address area enter whatever email address you prefer to use to receive you 'group'
emails, and then click on the little button next to that to select
it.......also look at "marketing preferences", because that's where you
can opt out of alot of rubbish that you don't want to receive.......
Once you've actually joined Yahoo, the next step is to go to our website -
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CiviliansCompanyB/ - and there click on
"join this group"......they'll put you thru a few more hoops, and Yahoo will
then send me a note asking me to "approve" your request to join (since I'm the
'owner' of the group) - after that, you're in - whatever group emails will
come to your chosen email address, you can post/reply to the group using
CiviliansCompanyB@yahoogroups.com as tho' it was some person's email
address.....Be aware that if you wish to reply ONLY to the individual who
sent an email rather than to the whole group, you need to be sure to put
that person's email address in the "to" space, because just hitting 'reply' will mean
that we all receive your message.
If you have any problems please let me know, and I'll try to help......
