What is the XJ-Owners mailing list?
The XJ-Owners mailing list is for discussion, general chatter, chaos, ride reports and exchange of information generally pertaining to Yamaha XJ motorcycles. Anyone is welcome to subscribe. The list is not moderated, and is intended for socializing among those with a common interest. Topics range from the useful (maintenance tips) to the questionable (snow tire availabilty?!?) and everything in between. Subscribers experience levels range from the absolute beginner to the old and grey, and so far have exchanged lots of useful info. Please, do not post any unsolicited advertisments, commercial posts, or SPAM.
Who runs the XJ-Owners mailing list?
The list is supported by micapeak.com, which maintains a large number of motorcycle related mailing lists.
How do I subscribe to XJ-Owners?
Send mail to [email protected] with no Subject: and a message body consisting of the single line:
SUBSCRIBE XJ-OWNERS Joe Motohead
Please replace "Joe Motohead" with your NAME - what people call you. NOT your e-mail address - what computers call you. Your e-mail address is picked out of the headers of your mail. This means that you should send all administrative mail from the same place where you initially subscribed, and will get all list-mail at that same address.
How do I unsubscribe?
Send mail to [email protected] with no Subject: and a message body consisting of:
UNSUBSCRIBE XJ-OWNERS
(No name is required - it's keyed on your address from the mail header. You must send this from the same address where you initially signed up.)
How do I send a message to everybody?
Send anything you want to [email protected] and your message will be distributed to all subscribers.
What happens when I "reply" to something XJ-Owners sent me?
Depends on your mailer. In general, using most mailers' "REPLY" command will send your reponse to the entire mailing list - NOT just to the originator of the message to which you're replying.
Much of the wording in this document is taken from the XJ-Owners Mailing List FAQ.
