for more information on whether to use a Yahoo email address or not.
Questions
regarding the joining process may be directed to vispi_munshi@hotmail.com
(vispi_munshi at hotmail.com).
Which
email address should I use?
We
recommend that you use a separate email address (from your personal email
address) for discussion groups. This will avoid flooding of your personal
email with discussion group messages. Also avoid using your company/office
email, that way when you change jobs you won’t need to subscribe again.
Do
I need a Yahoo email address to join the group?
No,
you don’t need a Yahoo email address if you choose methods 2 and 3 to join
the group. However, without a Yahoo id you won’t be able to sign in to the
group’s web site (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erp-india).
The web site allows you to
access/search archives of the group and some other cool features. It is
possible to attach a non Yahoo email address to a Yahoo id.
Posting Messages to the Group Forum
Simple, just send the message to erp-india@yahoogroups.com,
please use an
appropriate subject heading, which represents the content of the message.
Members replying to a message posted, just need to use the Reply button of
their email program, hence their subject line will have “RE: original
subject”.
Un-subscribing from the Group
Please send a blank email to erp-india-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Member
Subscription Mode
Yahoo
Groups provides a feature called Subscription Mode for each member. Basically
the subscription mode determines how posted emails are delivered to members.
It is a nice mechanism by which the member can customize the way they receive
group emails based on their preference. Possible modes are
“Individual
Emails” – You will receive all emails posted on the group
“Daily
Digest” – One email containing all emails posted on the group will be sent
at end of day
“Special
Notices” – Only special notices posted by the group moderator will be sent
to you
“No
email” – No email will be sent. You are choosing to browse the postings
from the group web site
To
change your subscription mode, please send request email to vmunshi@erp-india.com with following in subject line
Mode
Change: <New Mode>
Hence
if you would like to change your subscription mode to “Daily Digest”, then
the subject line should read
Mode
Change: Daily Digest
NOTE
1: The change request email has to be from the same email address to which you
had subscribed.
NOTE
2: For “Special Notices” and “No email” modes a yahoo email address is
required.
NOTE
3: It is not possible to have multiple modes for the same email address. Only
one mode has to be selected at a time.
NOTE 4: The “Individual Emails” mode results in the
highest volume of email received. If you are planning to go on vacation and
want to avoid receiving excessive email, then you might want to consider
changing your mode to “No email” or “Special Notices” or “Daily
Digest”. Once you are back from vacation, you can have the mode changed back
to the original setting. If you like, you can look through the postings (that
you missed while on vacation) from the archives of the group web site.
Accessing Message Archives
To
access the message archives no access/authorization needs to be granted. All
members can access/search the archives from the group home page, provided they
have a Yahoo id, which is attached to a email address, which in turn should be
subscribed to the erp-india Yahoo Group.
Here
is how you access/search the message archives
Step
1: Go to the home page - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/erp-india/
Step
2: Sign in with your Yahoo id – there is a Sign In link at the top of the
home page
Step
3: Scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see a Search Archive button. You
will also see a table with months and numbers running across. Using the Search
button you can search the archives for specific keywords. Using the table
(click on the numbers) you can browse through the posted messages.
If you are subscribed to the group with a non
yahoo email address, then you need to get a Yahoo id and attach the non yahoo
email address to the Yahoo id. To get a new Yahoo id, go to www.yahoo.com
and click on Sign-up.
