Welcome
to the AFRC email list Welcome to the Appalachian Forest Resource Center listserv, a subscription-based email discussion focused on community forestry in our region. This list serves as a means of communicating with people in the Central and Southern Appalachian region working with communities and forests. The list is intended primarily as a way to share upcoming events, news, ideas, informational resources, and other materials you think others in the region could benefit from. It can also be used for limited discussion of issues of the day and of ideas on how to develop sustainable solutions to the economic, social, and ecological challenges that face our forests and communities. Please share what you know about what is going on in the region, be it events, news, or interesting ideas. Active
sharing can help us learn from each other about the most effective
strategies for the work we do. There will be a diversity of opinions
and political and philosophical beliefs on this list. Please be
open to other ideas and enjoy the access it gives you to others'
perspectives and ideas. afrc_list@ruralaction.org The AFRC list is maintained by Rural Action and was made with q-mail, an open source mail program. The subscribe, un-subscribe, and help features are completely automated. 1. You must be a subscriber in order to post messages to the list. Members can post new messages to: afrc_list@ruralaction.org 2. In order to post messages to the list, members must be writing from the address by which they subscribed. 3. Each incoming email message has a heading where you will find mail links for help, subscribe, and unsubscribe. Depending
on how your email program is set up, double-clicking a mail-to link
will produce a pre-addressed message blank; you must type "help"
"subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject
line before you send the message.
4. Each incoming message has a prefix in its subject line that will help you create filters and folders in your email program. It is [afrc_list]. 5. When you reply, your message is sent to everybody on the list. Be sure you want your reply to be public. If not, respond privately. 6. If you are having difficulties with the AFRC list that the mail-bots can't help, please contact:

AFRC email discussion list FAQ: 1. Yes, you can send attachments to the AFRC list, such as an article or a photo. Before you do this, first determine whether the format and/or size of the attached files could render them unreadable, cause a mailbox overflow or a computer freeze. Plain text (.txt), Portable document format (PDF), GIF or JPG formats are dependable formats for sharing. Many email programs limit incoming mail to 50K total per message. 2. There is no limit on message length other than the capacity of your mailbox. But there may be limits on other members' mail service (Yahoo and Hotmail, for example). 3. You can use a signature file in your messages (try to restrain it to as few lines as possible) 4. When you reply to a message, or when you copy another message or discussion thread to your mail, make sure that you trim off the extensive "quoted" headings, signatures and unnecessary verbiage that can slow a mail system. Conversely, respect the rights of authors who allow free distribution of their materials provided credits and acknowledgments are left intact when they are shared. Questions for the List Admin?
