Listservs
The MSA maintains two electronic mailing lists: msa-members for announcements only and msa-discuss for discussion. New members need to sign up for the lists-they are not automatically added with their MSA membership. Instructions for each list appear below.
msa-members (Official Use Only)
This list is the association’s principal form of communicating essential information to its members. Intended to be a low-traffic list, msa-members is restricted to announcements from the MSA executive committee, the annual conference organizer, and the editor(s) of Modernism/modernity. Subscribers can choose to receive messages as they are posted to the list or bundled together in a daily digest. For CFPs or other non-board announcements, please use msa-discuss.
The MSA uses msa-members as the principal means of communication with its membership. Unsubscribing from msa-members means potentially missing out on important information about your association, the annual conference, or Modernism/modernity.
- To manage your subscription (i.e., to subscribe or unsubscribe, change your registered email address, opt for a daily digest, or view the subscriber's list) visit http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-members. The interface is very user-friendly.
- For more detailed instructions (e.g., temporarily suspending receipt of msa-members email without unsubscribing), please consult the user's manual: http://www.list.org/mailman-member.
- Please do not post "unsubscribe" messages to the list. They will not achieve your aim.
- If you have lost your password, visit http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-members#subscribers and follow the instructions for getting a password reminder.
- If you are receiving messages from the list more than once, you are probably subscribed to the list with different email addresses. If you already know the redundant email address, go to http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-members and click on Unsubscribe or edit options.
- If you do not know the second address, go to http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-members. The section headed “msa-members subscribers” is at the bottom of the page. Enter your e-mail address and password to access the subscriber list. Search the list to find your redundant email address(es). Click on the address and click on the Unsubscribe button on the resulting page. When the confirmation email arrives, follow the instructions to complete the unsubscription process.
msa-discuss (Please Use for CFPs)
In response to feedback from the membership, the MSA has created a separate electronic mailing list for Call for Papers and other timely announcements from members as well as more discursive communication on topics relevant to the study of Modernism. You can also post CFPs on the new MSA CFP database. Restricted to members of the MSA, msa-discuss is an un-moderated list.
- To manage your subscription (i.e., to subscribe or unsubscribe, change your registered email address, opt for a daily digest, or view the subscriber's list) go to http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-discuss. The interface is very user-friendly.
- For more detailed instructions (e.g., turning off your mail temporarily without unsubscribing), you may consult the user's manual: http://www.list.org/mailman-member.
- In order to reply to the entire list, you must click "reply all" in your email client. If you wish to contact the person who sent the message, simply click "reply".
- If you have lost your password, go to http://chaos.press.jhu.edu/mailman/listinfo/msa-discuss#subscribers and follow the instructions for getting a password reminder.
