From this page, a member can access all the major functions available to them. If the user entered the list as a visitor, only the Read Messages, About This List and Search selections will be available.
This is what a typical screen looks like. The annotation numbers point to the notes below.
(1) Read Messages
Pressing this button brings the user to the Read and Search Messages page.
(2) Create a New Message
Pressing this button brings the user to the Create a New Message page.
(3) Your Settings
Pressing this button brings the user to a page with all their member settings. These are the settings the user chose when joining
the mailing list. The screen looks exactly the same as the Join Mailing List page, except that the member is now editing their settings, rather than joining. This page is quite useful if, for
instance, the user's email address has changed. You can change their email address using this page.
(4) Leave (unsubscribe)
This button is used to leave a discussion group.
(5) About This List
Pressing this button brings the user to a page of general information about the mailing list.
(6) Search
The user can enter words to search for and press the Search button. The Read and Search Messages page will be brought up, along with a list
of messages which match the user's specified search. To search for messages using email, use the search command.
