     Restated very simply unsubscribe as a "cks" user and subscribe anew with
    your new email address whatever that may be.
    This will result in creating the proper headers on listserv messages and
    allow for the easy reply method to a list mailing.

    Forwarded mailheaders mess up the reply functions on automated listservs
    like this one.

    Yes, I would agree. But besides the usual reasons of having too much to do,
    or just being satisfied as "lurkers", I suspect many on tictech may not be
    able to reply to list messages.

    The reason is this: As the district migrates all employees to
    seattleschools.org accounts, old accounts are closed out. For instance, if
    you had a cks account, and then got a seattleschools account, your cks
    account is probably gone now, except that all mail sent to your cks account
    is still getting to you, via a .forward file on that old account. You can't
    get to the old account, but it still forwards mail to your new account.

    Here's the problem: you cannot reply to list messages from your
    seattleschools account (in the above example), because you joined the list
    from your cks account, and you're not subscribed from seattleschools (to
    post or reply to all lists, you must send messages from the account you are
    subscribed under). Pretty hard to enter into a list discussion - or even to
    get yourself unsubscribed!

    If you're still with me and would like to remedy this, you can take care of
    it yourself. The following example is how I would get myself unsubscribed
    from my cks account and subscribed from my seattleschools account.

    First, I would send an email from my seattleschools account to:
    majordomo@learningspace.org

    in the message body, I would type:
    unsubscribe tictech mahlness@cks.ssd.k12.wa.us

    That's it, I would be unsubscribed from the cks account.

    To subscribe from my new account, I would send an email addressed to:
    majordomo@learningspace.org

    in the message body I would type:
    subscribe tictech

    That's it, I would be subscribed from my new account.

    Substitute your own email addresses and accounts in the above example, and
    you can be on this list from any account you like. If you're not sure what
    account you're subscribed from, send me an email, and I'll let you know. If
    you'd just like me to take care of it for you, I will. You might need to
    wait a day or two for me to get to it, though.
