[Orca-users] Change in mailing address name: orca-help -> orca-users

Due to some changes at onelist.com, the name of this mailing
must change.  The -help at the end of orca-help is being
reserved for the mailing list named "orca".  As such, I'm
renaming this list to orca-users at onelist.com

Please see the copy of the message I have received for more
information on this.

I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Subject: FINAL NOTICE About Your Group's Name
   Date: Mar 2000 04:13:08 -0000
   From: ONElist Support <support at onelist.com>
     To: blair at akamai.com

Dear ONElist Moderator/Owner,

In the near future, ONElist will be introducing several new email
features.
To do this, we unfortunately need to ask some of our group owners to
change
their group's name.  This is because some existing group names are in
conflict with names that will be used for the new features.
  
This is a final reminder to let you know that your group,
orca-help at onelist.com, needs its name changed.  We are asking
group owners to change their group's name by 3/10/2000.

TO CHANGE YOUR GROUP'S NAME:
1.  Go to the settings page for your group by clicking on
http://www.onelist.com/settings/orca-help 
(please note that you will need to log in as the moderator of the group)
2. Click on the edit button in the description heading 
3. Modify the name of your group in the name field and click on the
"Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page.  The name change is
immediately effective.

OR, if you prefer, we will automatically change the name of your group
to orca-help2 at onelist.com (or something close) and will notify all
members of your group.  

PLEASE NOTE that if you do not change your group's name by 3/10/2000, we
will
automatically make the change to the name as listed above to ensure that
your
group continues to function properly.

WHAT ARE THE NEW FEATURES THAT REQUIRE THIS CHANGE?
An example of one of our new email features is the ability for members
to
request automatically generated help information about a group by
sending
a blank message to groupname-help at onelist.com.  "Groupname" is the name
of
the group, and "-help" is the command that automatically generates the
requested help information.  Examples of other existing commands include
"-subscribe", "-unsubscribe", "-owner", and "-digest".  We will also be
introducing foreign translations of these commands such as "-hilfe" and
"-aide".

Group names ending with these reserved commands need to be changed to
ensure
proper functioning of the group.  For example, if your group is named
example-help at onelist.com, the "-help" in your group name is a reserved
command that will cause your group not to function properly.  A suitable
name change for this group would be examplehelp at onelist.com (no hyphen)
or
example-help2 at onelist.com.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank
you
for your patience and cooperation.  If you have any questions, please
contact
us at support at onelist.com.

Thank you,
The ONElist Team

P.S.  Please remember that the deadline for changing your group's name
is
3/10/2000.
