Welcome message edits
I got the welcome message below when initially subscribed to a list. It has several issues, all of which are regressions from V2.1:
- "such adjustments" - no referent. I assume you mean "adjustments to your subscription's delivery schedule and format"
- "for security purposes, this email is not included here" You mean "this password"
- "If you have forgotten your password" - actually, it's possible not to have it due to administrator subscription. Better to say "If you do not have your password"
- "link on the login page." There is no reference to any website in the message. The message should include a link to the mailing list's website.
I've noticed that several of the e-mail transaction messages are less detailed than in V2.1. Why not take them (and their translations) verbatim? It would seem to be easier to update them than to start over.
Welcome to the "Scorecard" mailing list!
To post to this list, send your email to:
scorecard@example.net
You can make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:
scorecard-request@example.net
with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You will
need your password to change your options, but for security purposes,
this email is not included here. If you have forgotten your password
you will need to click on the 'Forgot Password?' link on the login
page.
