I lost my password

 


You lost your personal password - how do you find it again ?

This password is important, because you must know it to access the archives of a given list, to modify your subscription parameters, or to stop your list subscription.

In any and all cases, you need to at least know the email address under which you subscribed to the list. If you only have one email address, it is obviously that one. If you have several, you will need to know which one you used to subscribe to the list. To do that is simple: all the messages posted to the list contain several parameters in their heading: date, sender, subject, and your email address. This heading is often automatically masked by your email client (MSOutlook, Eudora, Netscape, etc...) but it is easy to access this heading (it is generally done either by using your right mouse button if you use Windows (right-click on the title of the email in question), or by using the "Internet Options" or "Preferences" features of your software).

There are two solutions to receive your lost password:

-  To receive ONLY your password, enter your email address after clicking here

-  Certain lists are configured by the manager in such a way that you can access all of your parameters by email. To do this, all you have to do is send a message to the server:

CAUTION: You must send this message from the email address you used to subscribe. As data contained in the message that you will receive from the server is confidential, a message posted from an address unknown to the server will be rejected.

For example, if you are subscribed to the list "List-Fr" using the address smith@domaine.com, and you want to receive all your parameters and the description of the list "List-Fr", you will need to send the following message:

Simpler yet, just click on this link and you just add the name of the list for which you wish to receive the description and your personal parameters.
