What is a List Server?  


The AHRA List Server is an internet mechanism that allows you to network with radiologic sciences professionals from all over the world, in one common place. This mechanism is an Internet e-mail computer program that subscribes individuals with e-mail addresses to a common "discussion" group.

Many AHRA members take advantage of this exclusive member benefit and use the AHRA List Server daily to share valuable information with peers worldwide. To participate in the discussion group, you must "subscribe." When a message is sent to the "group," the List Server takes the message and sends it to each subscriber.

There are four (4) ways in which to receive postings from the AHRA List Server:

  1. Mail: receive mail as it is contributed - as soon as someone contributes a message to the mailing list, the user will receive a copy of that message. This option is commonly known by other programs as "mail."

  2. Digest: periodic digest - each night, around 12:00 am, the user will receive a single email message containing all the messages contributed to the mailing list that day. At the top of the message will be a numbered list of the subjects in that digest, followed by the complete messages themselves. This option is commonly known by other programs as "digest." Note that the 12:00am mailing time is not configurable.

  3. Index: periodic index of subject - each night, around 1 in the morning, the user will receive a single email message containing all the subject lines of all the messages contributed to the mailing list that day. If any of the messages interest the user, the bottom of the index gives the email command that will retrieve the bodies of the messages.

  4. Nomail: receive no mail - no email is sent to the user. The user is free to go the web interface whenever they want, and read the full text of the messages there. This setting is also useful for people who want the ability to contribute to a mailing list, but do not care to see the contributions to the mailing list. This option is commonly known by other programs as "nomail."
