*** Changes to the NW-Mailing-List ***

[NW Mailing List]

As the NW-Mailing-List approaches 30 years of existence, the time has 
come to make some changes.

The Mailman software which has been running the list for over 21 years 
has become unsupportable. Complying with the increasing number and 
complexity of anti-spam and other e-mail filters on the Internet has 
reached a breaking point. Our provider Pair.com announced that they will 
end support for mailing lists at the end of this year.

After reviewing our options, we determined that *groups.io* is our best 
option for continuing to maintain the NW-Mailing-List.
Groups.io expanded features such as file and photo sharing should make 
the NW-Mailing-List a better tool for sharing our collective knowledge 
and resources. Another consideration was that groups.io will not resell 
our email addresses or target marketing material to you.

Sometime *Wednesday *you will receive an email from Groups.io notifying 
you that you have been added to the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A link is 
included in the email for logging in and establishing an account 
password. (Yes another darn password!) Fortunately you will not need the 
password to participate in the NW-Mailing-List. Messages will continue 
to be email based although now a web interface is available for those 
that prefer that choice. The difference will be that emails will be sent 
to <*nw-mailing-list at groups.io*> instead of to the nwhs.org domain.

As we make this transition, *check your email spam settings* and make 
sure the address <nw-mailing-list at groups.io> is whitelisted so you will 
see all the messages from the list.

If you are already using groups.io with the same e-mail address, 
NW-Mailing-List will show up in Your Groups.
If you are new to groups.io, please click on the link included in the 
email to establish a password to go with your email address. This will 
unlock a web interface where you can customize the way messages are sent 
and received from your account.

If you want to opt out of the new mailing list, email Ron at 
<davis at nwhs.org> before noon on Wednesday. If you miss the deadline, 
there will be a link in the groups.io email to unsubscribe.

Thank you all for participating and contributing to this amazing source 
of N&W/VGN information.

Ron Davis
