PBS - no mail on holiday

Ton asked how he can stop PBS messages while he goes on a two week
holiday.

There are links at the bottom of every PBS message - they are blue.

Click on this one: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php

That will take you to the webpage which has the archives. There is a
line of tabs that look like the tops of file folders.
Archive Subscribe Change FAQ

Click on "Change".

Fill in your email address. Make sure it is the one that you
subscribed with.

Click on "Unsubscribe or edit options".

This takes you to a page that asks for your password. It also has a
button to click if you don't remember your password.

I'm doing this as I write this, so I can describe what happens. I
don't remember ever having a password, so I clicked on the button, and
one has just been emailed to me. It must have been generated
automatically, because it is not the kind of password I have ever used.

I typed in the password I was sent, and I am now at a page where I can
change my address, or unsubscribe. I scrolled down near the bottom of
the page, and I can change Mail Delivery. There are two choices:
Enabled and Disabled. Enabled is selected now, which means messages
will be delivered to me. If I click Disabled, messages will not be
delivered, but I can still post messages (maybe from an internet cafe
when I go on holiday).

You must remember to do this again when you come home to start your
mail again. There is no way to set a time for the mail to start again
automatically.
