It looks to me just like the message Madeleine sent earlier.
I think Cindy just altered the subject line.

Etiquette Guides
I’m not sure why I can’t read Cindy’s message below.
I use Outlook 2010 now and occasionally a message won’t
read. But I hope it does not mean that Cindy is leaving
this list. Cindy, your presence here makes a difference.

Due to conversations from high up
at Benetech, we have drafted new
etiquette guides for our Freelists.
Please read on for our official
guidelines for this list.
Bksvols-Discuss Freelists Etiquette
Guide
The list is to support volunteers
in the volunteer process. This means
that this list should be used to discuss
scanning and proofreading tips,
thoughts, suggestions, and questions. It
also can be used to discuss
accessibility questions and/or
concerns. We suggest that other
conversations unrelated to Bookshare
volunteering be moved elsewhere.
Here is a review of some of the
practices that we use to keep list
communication efficient:
1. Please
use clear descriptions of the email in
the "Subject" line.
2. When
a question has been answered please
refrain from responding further and let
the thread die. This also applies to
posts that only state “I agree” or “me
too,” as they aren’t necessary.
3. Quoting
should be kept to the bare minimum. Do
say enough in a reply so the list
understands the subject you are
referring to. If you plan to quote or
forward a message to the list, please
take the time to strip out the header
information and unnecessary excess
information in the email itself.
4. When
messages have some general interest to
the group but the topic has drifted or
shifted slightly, please change the
subject line to more accurately reflect
the new subject or add “OT” before the
original subject to indicate that
the thread is "off-topic."
The letters OT tell us two
things. First that we may safely skip
the message without leaving a fellow
volunteer stranded with a problem
and second that each member of the list
has an extra responsibility to let that
thread fade out so that it is less
difficult to find and answer on-topic
issues of immediate concern to a
volunteer's scanning and proofing. “OT”
should not be used for general chatting,
but should be used in instances in which
the list member does not know how to
categorize the post.
5. A
note to minors: please do not disclose
private information such as medical
details.
6. Be
polite. These lists are not appropriate
places to share religious or political
views, rude language, cruel or
criticizing remarks. We do not stand for
any type of harassment.
7. If
you have an opinion about how the list
is run or about a certain list member,
please contact the Volunteer Coordinator
directly.
Disclaimer: List participation
confirms agreement with, and complicity
to, list policy and rules even if said
articles have not been read. Individual
participants are solely responsible for
their own actions and postings and are
at their own risk. This includes any
information, advice, and counsel as well
as addresses, phone numbers, or any
other personal contact information.
Bookshare takes no responsibility for
the comments, opinions, and postings of
its subscribers either now, or in the
future.
