The COPD List is an electronic mailing list, and our main program.
Any member of the List may "post" to it, and, after the email is sent, it is redistributed automatically to all the List's subscribers.
It is available in two formats, Regular or Digest.
Regular is as-they-are-posted e-mail messages and Digest is a compiled e-mail message containing all the email messages of the day - to keep files sizes acceptable for all ISPs, Digest is sent out in sections, 2 or 3 per day depending on the volume and size of mail. If you are not computer-savvy, we recommend that you get your emails individually (Membership type: regular) rather than Digest delivery, they are much easier to read and respond to.
Check your inbox after you submit your subscription, we will have sent you an email that you must reply to prior to you being added to our email list. This will prevent anyone else from enrolling with your email-id. Also, please read the page that comes up after you click the Submit button for more hints. Thanks for your helping hand!
Subscribing means you are agreeing to follow all our policies.

Once you have subscribed to the COPD Email List, you are eligible to subscribe to any of our other supplemental email support groups
Send your List emails To: COPD@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM
Emails should be sent in Plain Text - this is generally an option under the "Format Text" tab of your email program. Email with attachments, styled fonts and colors, and HTML coding can be treated as possible spam/viruses and rejected by the Mail List server or posted with a lot of garbage.
Doing only the "Basic" is just fine for those new to the list.
Our focus is COPD, not messaging expertise!
Any change to your subscription such as new email-id, may be accomplished by sending an email to Management@copd-support.com
Just write the change you want in the body of the email and press Send.

If you are an AOL user, there is a problem if you rely on AOL to automatically add to your contacts list;
and it is also possible your privacy settings may block our emails.
AOL has automatically added management@copd-support.com to your contacts list, but this is not the email address that will be sending emails from the COPD-Support List to you.
You cannot rely on the AOL automatic contact adds.
You must add these two addresses manually to your Contacts List:
COPD@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM and
listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com
Also check your privacy settings to make sure our emails qualify.
