The Diesel Preservation Mailing List



Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know an email is from this group?
All group emails will have the prefix [PresGen] in the subject field.

How do I contact the owner or moderators of this group?
The moderators can be contacted by emailing pres_gen@yahoo.co.uk

Can I reply to posts?
Yes, but please do not reply to questions on the group - please reply to the poster only - see below. For other occasions please consider if your own post is within the PresGen guidelines. If not it may be more appropriate to reply to the sender only.

How do I reply to the original poster without sending a message to the whole of PresGen?
The current group settings are configured as reply to 'sender' and for most mailing software clicking 'reply' will ensure any reply will only go to the sender. However members who receive the digest version or use the yahoo group to send their messages are advised to ensure that the address in the 'To' field is not the PresGen address. If it is then do the following; make a note of the original posters email address and then click forward, typing or pasting the relevant email address in the 'To' field.

Why can't I ask a question?
The group is a list to disseminate information only. There are plenty of question and answer forums.
Please try The Preservation Page (Yahoo Group) or the Preserved Diesels Web Forum.

What is the Files section for?
The files section is for documents (timetables/diagrams etc). You must be a member of PresGen to access this section.

I get a lot of email from this group and I want to change this setting, is this possible?
Yes your account can be set to get no email and simply view the homepage or you can receive a daily digest. You can change the setting in your own Yahoo settings or contact pres_gen@yahoo.co.uk and we will make the change for you.

I want to post an attachment but it does not appear. How do I send attachments?
For security reasons attachments are not allowed, please send any attachments to the moderators who will place it in the files section (see above).

I have a suggestion for a change to PresGen. How do I go about submitting it?
Please email all suggestions to pres_gen@yahoo.co.uk Back to Homepage
