How do I respond to only one list subscriber?

In order to respond to only one subscriber in the list rather than the entire list, use your "FORWARD" button in your email client and put the email of the single subscriber in the "TO" address box. This way you can send the contents of the email along with your comments without cutting and pasting.

How do I find out which lists are available for subscription?

To prevent the gathering of email addresses on focused groups, the subscriber listings for all NIFL lists are concealed (not available to the typical user). To find out who is subscribed to the list, send a message to the list moderator. Each moderator receives an up-to-date listing of subscribers for their respective lists weekly.
