Using RFF e-mail

Are you receiving the RFF e-mail?�Updated June 2012

   The club e-mail is normally used for reminders of club activities and to keep in touch between our regular meetings. It is very effective for getting out a message on short notice. Some members are having difficulty receiving the club e-mail. There are several reasons for this but the main culprit is that we may not have your correct e-mail address. The second reason is that some of you have over active spam filters. If you are not receiving RFF e-mail now but you want to receive it, we can fix that quite easily. Follow the steps below.�

� You may add yourself to the RFF e-mail on the homepage of our website. You may add additional e-mails if you have more than one or you may also add family and friends. All the additional e-mails are at no cost to the club so there is no need to be shy about it.

� If you have difficulty signing yourself on, you can e-mail me using the e-mail you want the club to use and request that you be added to the list. Send to� Rogue_Flyfishers@mail.vresp.com or thomascollett@yahoo.com

� Add this e-mail to your contact list Rogue_Flyfishers@mail.vresp.com This will tell your spam filter that you want to receive this e-mail.

� You may also need to go into your spam filter and add Rogue_Flyfishers@mail.vresp.com to your allowed list. Take notice of the underscore between Rogue and Flyfishers.

   The club uses a bulk e-mail program named Vertical Response. The RFF and Vertical Response are not responsible for your pop up ads or malware. Those probably came from your friends forwarding all those dumb jokes or opening up messages or links from sources you don�t know.�

   Rogue Flyfishers is on Facebook. Facebook can be a quick and easy way to find the recent e-mails from RFF. Go to www.facebook.com and type Rogue Flyfishers in the search area at the top of the page. You may need to sign up for Facebook if you are not already a member. It is free to anyone so don�t be shy.

   If you should want to remove yourself from our mail list, it is very simple to do. At the bottom of every message there is an unsubscribe link. Just one click and you are gone.

   The RFF web site has recently had an overhaul and is looking really good. One of the features of the website is the newsletter. Just click the newsletter link and you will see the most recent newsletter. If you decide to take yourself off of the print newsletter mailing list, it will conserve money that we can spend on conservation projects.

   Another new feature is the Site Map. It can be used to go directly to a specific page with fewer clicks.

You can also link to the website using the RSS icon. The RSS icon is orange in color and has a square shape with rounded corners. It also has a dot in the lower left corner with two arches around the dot similar to a rainbow. Try it out and you will find that it is quite easy to use. RSS means Really Simple Syndication. News organizations use it extensively. Give it a try.�
