• How do I send a message to the CREOGPD Listserv?

  Send your e-mail to [email protected].

  Because a mailing list is a cooperative effort, we ask that you observe basic etiquette rules as follows:

  • Subject Heading: If your message is specific to a resident or fellow topic, please begin your message with “Resident:” or “Fellow:” to ensure the proper audience is cognizant of the message.
    • Contributors should use the Subject line to provide a clear indication of the subject matter of their messages.
• How should I reply to a message sent through the CREOGPD Listserv?

  Select REPLY TO SENDER which will reply directly to the individual who sent the message. This is essential in order to minimize duplicate e-mail messages. Never select REPLY TO ALL.

• What do I do if I'm not seeing any emails coming through this Listserv?

  It is possible the emails from this listserv are being blocked by your institution’s firewall, they are being sent to spam, you are not actually subscribed to the listserv, or you are simply missing them.

  1. If you suspect your institution's firewall is blocking the emails from the CREOGPD listserv, you will have to contact your IT department or switch your listserv subscription to your personal email.
  2. If the emails from this listserv are going to your spam folder, mark them as not spam and move them to your inbox.
  3. If you’re not sure whether you are subscribed, check your inbox for the Welcome email detailed above or reach out to [email protected] to confirm.
  4. If you get a lot of emails daily, you may simply be missing some of the emails that come through the CREOGPD listserv. Why not create a separate inbox folder titled CREOGPD and create a rule through your email exchange to move any emails from [email protected] to the CREOGPD folder, so you never miss any updates!
