NMRA email spam button misuse
It has come to the attention of the NMRA IT department that many NMRA members do not
receive NMRA email publications (Turntable, eBulletin, Dispatch) because other members use the Spam button.
If the publication is not of interest, simply delete it. If you no longer want to receive any NMRA email publication,
please use the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email, which is safe and secure.
Never use the Spam or Junk button. If too many people do this, service providers such as Yahoo will block all
people from ever seeing the emails. Most NMRA members want to keep in touch. Don't ruin it for them.
Please note that Unsubscribe will apply to all NMRA email publications, including the Turntable, eBulletin,
special eBulletins, and Dispatch.
