Hello Graphics Members,

Just thought you would like an up-to date on the 'spamming' situation 
which several members feel could be partly due to archive email 
addresses being farmed.  

Although we feel this event most unlikely, we have taken this further 
with the appropriate person maintaining our archives and he has 
kindly implemented an additional email obfuscation.  

Hopefully this will add further difficulties and confusion to anyone 
attempting to use our archives for this purpose.

Have yourselves a great weekend.

ABOUT THIS MAILING LIST:

The IWA-HWG's Graphics List Charter covers:

Discussions targeted toward the creation and usage of graphics on the
Web. Its charter includes all forms of graphic creation techniques,

graphic creation.

Per the Actionable Rules, discussions on what you charge clients for
services or plan on  charging are prohibited.  The reason for this

Information on this list can be found at:

or unsubscribing, please send an email to Graphics List Guides @:

        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:
/lists/rules.html

Netiquette Guidelines:
/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:
/lists/hwg-graphics/index.html#2

For information about UNsubscribing to the Digest version, please
see:  /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:

/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:

/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.
