What is an Email Exploder?

The Chapter uses open source web software application called | GNU Mailman that manages the email list. It's just like the more expensive pay versions but obviously has a few less bells and whistles. This software allows someone who is a member of the list to send a message via email to one address and have it forwarded (exploded) out to all the members of the list. Just click if you'd like to learn more about what an | Electronic Mailing List or Exploder is.

This will take you to a page where you'll be able to change your address, make corrections to your name, change your password, and edit options for how the exploder sends you messages. Sadly where the site is hosted, the send monthly reminders feature does not work. There is also an option called Digest Mode which will send one message daily with messages bundled together instead of as they come out.
