        hwg-graphics-help(at)hwg.org

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE LIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each list has a different feel and different general community rules.
Please spend some time listening in ("lurking") before posting in
order to get a feel for the way in which conversations take place.

You will also want to be sure to review the following /before/ you post:

The Actionable Rules:
http://www.hwg.org/lists/rules.html

Netiquette Guidelines:
http://www.hwg.org/lists/netiquette.html

Once subscribed, to send a message to the hwg-graphics list, send
an email to:

hwg-graphics(at)hwg.org


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT TO CHECK IF YOUR POSTS ARE NOT GOING TO THE LIST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First troubleshoot the following items:

*Did you subscribe to the Graphics List and receive confirmation
the subscription was processed?

*Are you sending your post to: hwg-graphics(at)hwg.org?

*Are you sending using the email address you originally used to
subscribe to the list?

*Does the email you subscribed with have an autoresponder
attached to it or include HTML formatting or attachments?

It is not uncommon for members to change email addresses and
inadvertently forget that the "new" address was not the one they used
when they subscribed to the list.  The new address would not be
recognized by the mail server and therefore your messages would not
be forwarded to the list.

Also, AUTORESPONDERS and ISP problems that create bounced
messages may cause the list's filters to automatically unsubscribe you
from the list.  If after checking all the above possibilities out you
still
are
experiencing difficulties, email the List Guides for assistance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ABOUT DIGEST MODE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A "digest" version of the list is available. By subscribing to the
digest
version of the hwg-graphics mailing list, you receive a group of posts
in one E-Mail message. That way, as an example, instead of getting
20 messages a day from the list, you would get 1 or 2 which contain
all of the posts from that day. You can still participate in the
hwg-graphics list like a regular subscriber, you just receive your
messages in a more compact manner.

For information about subscribing to the Digest version, please see:
http://www.hwg.org/lists/hwg-graphics/index.html#2

For information about UNsubscribing to the Digest version, please
see:  http://www.hwg.org/lists/hwg-graphics/index.html#5


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT ARE LIST GUIDES?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The List Guide Program was created to assist members on the
IWA-HWG Mailing Lists to get the most from the lists. We perform
the task of helping the lists get and keep quality, valuable, valid
content. In addition, List Guides provide assistance to all who
request it and help enforce the IWA-HWG policies for the mailing
lists.  To contact the Graphics List Guides email:

        hwg-graphics-help(at)hwg.org

Information on the List Guide program can be found at:

http://www.hwg.org/lists/intro.html

We do not moderate the lists.  We are here, always in the background,
to assist you with your questions and concerns.  We do contact
members, via private email, when we are concerned about a post that
may have infringed on the Actionable Rules located at:

http://www.hwg.org/lists/rules.html

Please understand we will always err on the side off caution when it
comes to these 10 rules and appreciate your understanding in this
regard.  We do not _generally_  enforce Netiquette Guidelines.

If you have a problem with what someone else has posted to the list,
then you may freely respond to them in private email.  List Guides will
address any violations of the IWA-HWG's Mailing List's Actionable
Rules via private email with the member(s) involved.  Refusal to abide
by the Actionable rules can result in a member being removed from the
mailing list permanently or for a period of time depending on the nature
of the disturbance the member has caused.

The List Guide program is authorized and endorsed by the IWA-HTML
Writers Guild.  If you have questions about the List Rules or a List Guide's
action,
please do not post your questions or comments to this list. You can email
your thoughts and comments at any time to the List Guide Manager at:
hwg-lgmanager(at)hwg.org


*REMEMBER* If you need any assistance in connection with the IWA/HWG
Graphics mailing list, please do not hesitate to contact the List Guides
at:  hwg-graphics-help(at)hwg.org  - the List Guides  will be pleased to assist
in any way they can.
