> A new feature: alias names on your mailbox

>

> Both online forms also allow for requesting aliases, which means that you

> can have more than one name on your mailbox. Aliases are useful for adding

> your civil name or an organization name to your mailbox, or for families

who

> want to share one mailbox in order to cut the costs. Adding (or changing)

an

> alias costs 40 SEK (this is a one time fee) One can have max. three

aliases

> per user name.

>

> Note that sending mail *from* an alias name will only be supported by

WinCOM

> / MacCOM 39 (not out yet) onwards. Versions prior to 39 will always send

out

> mail with the main user name in the "" line. Of course, receiving

mail

> *to* an alias address will work for any version.

> Group donations

>

> Temple devotees will probably want to send money together, in order to

> reduce the money transfer fees. The online forms are not designed like

that,

> but you can do it as follows:

>

> · for all forms of transfer *except* for credit card:

> (1) fill in a form for every user, and note down the ticket numbers,

> (2) then send one big donation (which is the total of all forms)

> (3) and send me an e-mail with all the ticket numbers.

>

> · for credit card transfers:

> (1) fill in a form for every user, and note down the ticket numbers,

> (2) but only open the DigiBuy payment window for the last form

> or if you forgot, go to

> http://www.digibuy.com/cgi-bin/order.html?PAMHO

> (3) type all the ticket numbers in the DigiBuy field which

> says "How did you hear about the product(s) and/or its makers".

>

> Note however that credit card payment is the most expensive form for group

> donations due to Digibuy's large commission (14%), so any of the other

forms

> of payment will be cheaper, even international bank transfer.
