[Anthropgrad] Re: Anthropgrad Digest, Vol 64, Issue 11

[Mary Walta]

Greetings,

I have some feedback regarding your email digest format. In conversation 
with a couple of rspas people recently, I noted their frustration with 
the format of your email circular, claiming they are too busy to read it 
because it requires scrolling down to access the information. A simple 
way to avoid this concern would be to put the subscription information 
at the bottom of the email.

Regards, Mary
