Attachments
It is not possible to circulate attachments on the email list. This is a security measure to prevent the spread of viruses. To get around this, you will need to copy and paste the contents of any attachments into the body of your email.
Student Forum email list
Postgraduate research students are also encouraged to join the EuroResearch email list which is administered by the UACES Student Forum. This list is of particular relevance to students, and includes information on:
Summer Schools Conferences for postgraduates

Receive Emails Weekly (optional)
Step 1: Let UACES know that instead of receiving emails as and when they are circulated, you prefer to receive the weekly index (Email admin@uaces.org)
Step 2: Registering a password. You will be sent an email every Tuesday, showing the titles and senders of emails circulated during the previous week to the UACES list. To access the full email you will need to have a password. A guide on creating a password can be found at: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/help/using/passwords.htm.
Step 3 (if you lose your password) There is no way to get a password reminder, however when registering a new password it overwrites the old password.
Send a Message
Once you have received confirmation that you have successfully joined the email list, you can start sending messages.
Simply send an email (with no attachments) to uaces@jiscmail.ac.uk.
Your message will immediately be posted to every member on the email list, so it is not necessary to preface your email with any other comments.

Search the Archives

Suspend yourself temporarily from the list
You should suspend yourself from the list before setting up any automatic 'out of office' message. Some email systems get trapped in a loop which will generate an endless number of emails that will clog up your Inbox and that of everyone else on the list.
To temporarily suspend yourself from the email list whilst you are away, send the following command to jiscmail@jiscmail.ac.uk.
set * nomail
--
The two dashes (--) typed on the next line down indicate that this is the end of the command.
