Email List |
It is an e-mail list dedicated to discussion or bulletins related to the Carolina Canoe Club and paddling.
Using it requires only that you have e-mail. A message sent to the list is automatically resent to everyone on the list.
You can add (subscribe) or delete (unsubscribe) your name from the mailing list by sending a message as described later.
You can also access the mailing list via a web page. It allows you to send or read messages from a web page instead of using e-mail. It also allows you to search the list.
Remember that each message you send to the list goes to everyone subscribed to it.
Do not use the list to send messages of interest to only a few people you know. Send them a message directly.
There are about 900 people on the list. Make sure there is something of value in each message you send to the list.
Non-members are welcome to join the list.
You must be a club member to receive the club's newsletter, The Paddler, and to vote on club business. The newsletter includes the club's Cruise Schedule with names and phone numbers of the trip coordinators.
If you are not a club member you should not respond to messages soliciting opinions on matters of club business or policy.
To join the list, send a blank (nothing in the message body) e-mail message to:
You will receive a message back asking you to confirm your request. Use your e-mail reader's reply function to send the confirmation message.
To be taken off the list, send a blank e-mail message to:
You must be subscribed to the list before you can send messages.
Compose your message using only Plain Text.
Any information other than Plain Text (HTML or Attachments) will be deleted from your message before it is distributed to the list.
Make sure you fill in the Subject line so people can tell if they are interested in reading the full message.
Send your message to:
You can use your e-mail program's "reply" function.
Before you send your reply, check the address in the "TO:" field. Usually your e-mail reader will pickup the default "Reply To" address.
The mailing list sets the "Reply To" address to be the message originator's address.
If you want your reply to go to everyone, the "TO:" address must be changed to: ccclist@yahoogroups.com
Often there is a reason why you want to reply to the list, but many replies to the list should be sent only to the person who posted the original message. Before you press the Send key, check the addresses that your message is destined for. You may have options set in your e-mail program to reply to "all addresses" rather than only to the "Reply To" address.
If you post a message to the list, you may get replies sent directly to you and not to the list. When you see that the subject line contains " re: [CCC] ...", do not assume this message was sent to the list. Check the addresses it was sent to. If you reply to the list and quote a private message, you are turning a private reply into a public message without the sender's permission.
Yes, but you must subscribe each e-mail address you wish to use.
It is also possible to send messages from an address different from your subscribed address by using the Alternative Posting Addresses. This can be setup using the web access.
If your ISP bounces CCC messages back for a period of time, your e-mail address will be unsubscribed. When your e-mail is working again you can check to see if you are subscribed by sending in a Subscribe request. If you are already subscribed, you will be told so.
Do not sent test messages to the list. If you are having problems, contact the list administrator. For the address, see the last question on this page.
You can change your subscription to receive only one e-mail per day from the list. It is called the Daily Digest and is a single message with all the day's messages included. If you would rather have this, send message to the administrator and ask to be changed to the digest. For the address, see the last question on this page.
You can also decide to receive no e-mail from the list, and read messages on the list web page. See: the next question.

Send a message to the CCC E-mail List administrator at email.list@carolinacanoeclub.org. Put "CCC" or something about paddling in the subject line. If the subject is only "Hi" or "Help", and from an address the administrator does not recognize, your message may go unread because it looks like spam.
