NB: After you request a subscription, you must
confirm that request by replying to an email or your subscription will not
start. This step protects you. Watch for this email. Reply to this email. We will send several requests for your confirmation. If you change your mind, the
email also explains how to easily stop these confirmation requests. It only takes one email.
Request Subscription to HEFS Bulletin
NB: When you request a subscription you will
receive a confirming email. You must reply to that confirming email to start the
subscription. This isn't hard. Just reply. That is all you need to do. This is
for your protection to ensure you are really subscribing yourself and that no
one else is subscribing you. Your subscription will not start until you reply to
the confirming email.
Federal COPPA
Compliance Notice: A law called COPPA went into effect in April, 2000. The United States Government doesn't want me to collect "personal information" about "children".
You agree that by requesting a subscription to this email newsletter, you are
telling me that you are more than 13 years old.
I do not spam. Period.
I do not sell, lend or release
your subscription information
to anyone for any reason. Click here to see my HEFS Bulletin Privacy Policy.

To Subscribe Via Email
To get instructions for subscribing (or unsubscribing) via email,
Note that sending this email does not subscribe you, or unsubscribe you or trigger the whitelist or spam test. It just tells my system to send you instructions on how to do all these things.
Testing has shown that putting the actual trigger addresses on my web site cause me to get a ton of "requests" that are really spam. The simple way to stop this is to have you request the info this way.
How to Unsubscribe
Complete unsubscribe information comes with the email confirmation and with each issue. Or write the help address (see immediately above).
Tell me what problem you are having and how I can help. Please give good and complete details. I'll be happy to assist.

CAN-SPAM Is Stupid:
A personal rant about the U. S. federal law known as known as CAN-SPAM. While it is supposedly designed to help eliminate email spam, I think the law is stupid. The article also provides links to CAN-SPAM resources.

I Use Gammadyne Mailer
I began using the
Gammadyne Mailer in late 2002. It is possible to use it very simply, almost out of the box. But it also features a very complete internal programming language to let you do just about anything you want. And, it keeps all the information on my PC in an Access database, where I know the information is secure and under my control.
It is screaming software. I strongly recommend
Gammadyne Mailer.
PS: You can test drive my implementation of the Gammadyne Mailer just to see how it works. I created an
ezine named TestZine to let me test my programming. You can test it too. Subscribe and receive a "sample issue". You can even try out some of the tests I perform,
like submitting a subscription request twice in a row, or subscribing when I'm
already subscribed or unsubscribing when I'm not subscribed, just to see how it
handles these "special conditions". Just go to my TestZine page.
