Subscribe to a Listserv

Subscribe to a Discussion Board's Email Listserv
Some groups' discussion forums on OR Nurse Link will be email listserv enabled. That means that you can subscribe to a discussion forum and start, read, and reply to discussions from your email program.

Not all groups have their listservs enabled. You can tell if a group has its listserv enabled if it has an envelope icon at the top of its discussion forum.

Listserv Envelope Icon

If the discussion board simply has an alarm bell icon, it means that it's possible to set up email alerts, but you cannot reply to or start discussions via email.

To participate in a group's discussions via email, you must first be subscribed to receive listserv emails. You can subscribe by clicking on the envelope icon at the top of the group's discussion forum.

You will then be taken to a page that will allow you to choose how frequently you receive discussion emails. Choose an option and click OK.

Setting delivery frequency

After you've successfully subscribed to the forum, the envelope icon will be greyed-out and have a red X on it. You will now start receiving listserv emails.
