your name and email address to each contribution (we will add the

be confused with listserv commands) you can send: original messages, or
replies to someone else's posting.
- To send an original message, email it directly to
h-france@lists.uakron.edu
- To reply to someone else's posting, use the reply command in your mail system.
In either case, simply describe the subject of your post in the "subject" area and compose your message in the body of your email.
