THE PRIZE
Your choice of any single-character package from my store.

WHAT DO I DO?
Now through midnight (server time) on July 29, subscribe to my newsletter, which is sent out once a month with news of new products, beta testing opportunities, and exclusive freebies.

HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE?
There are two ways:

1. Automatically subscribe yourself by sending an email to imailsrv@crystalmoondesign.com with the words 'subscribe GildedGeckoNews' (minus the quotes) in the BODY of the email--NOT in the subject line. You'll get a confirmation email if you were successful.
2. Send me an email with Subscribe Me! in the subject line, or IM me with your email addy. I'll send you a note back to let you know I got it.

HOW DO I WIN?
On Wednesday, July 30th, I'll draw a random email address from the list of subscribers and email the winner! Winner's name and product choice will be posted here!

QUESTIONS?
Post 'em here or IM me. Thanks!

Email addresses will NOT be shared with any other party for any reason

Contest....did someone say....contest.......(: Well, I for one can not resist, so the e-mail has been sent and I look forward to recieving your newsletter. (: genny

I send a mail to :)

Now this is an easy contest :o) e-mail sent.

Thanks! A few people have had trouble with the automatic subscribe. If you're at an address that automatically adds text to your email, like an advert at the bottom, or even a signature, it unfortunately won't work. The only text in the body of the email must be: subscribe GildedGeckoNews Otherwise you'll get a syntax error. If that happens, just IM or email me, and I'll add you manually. Grooves, Stacey

Too easy apparently :o( I just got this back: IMail List Server for Windows NT, Ipswitch, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Valid Commands are: To subscribe to a list, send a mail message to "imailsrv" at this address with the following in the body of the message: subscribe listname your_full_name To unsubscribe from a list, send a mail message to "imailsrv" at this address with the following in the body of the message: unsubscribe listname To receive a list of the lists supported here: list To receive a list of users on a given list (If enabled for that particular list): list listname To receive help send: help [listname] To change to digest mode, send a mail message to "imailsrv" at this address with the following in the body of the message: set mode digest listname To change back to standard mode, send a mail message to "imailsrv" at this address with the following in the body of the message: set mode standard listname .

Yeah, that's the syntax error. :-( Several people have used the auto-subscribe successfully this morning, so I know it works--IF the subscribe text is the only text in the body of the email. Some programs/systems add footer text or signatures to all outgoing mail. If you get the syntax error, or don't want to chance it, just IM or email me. I've had a few of both this morning, too.

Stacy, I too got the same syntax error an use OE with no footers. It turned out I had to add my first and last name and then it worked fine: subscribe GildedGeckoNews First Last

It doesn't need your name. Only subscribe listname, as I've specified. Honest :-) The syntax error message says it needs your name, but the system is LYING. g A dozen other people subscribed successfully using just 'subscribe GildedGeckoNews', not including me with several addresses to test it. Glad it finally worked for you though! Thanks!

Well, it may be lying but it is very stubborn about wanting a name. I couldn't subscribe until I added one. But a lot of listservs work that way.
