The “OatMail” mailgroup

“OatMail” is an e-mail forum for discussion and announcements of specific interest to the broader oat research community. It is administered by GrainGenes and the editor of the Oat Newsletter. OatMail is different from the Oat Newsletter mailing list in that any member can use OatMail to send a direct message to all other members on the list. Members can also reply to messages when the resulting discussion is deemed to be of general interest. Messages will, however, need to be approved by a moderator before they are sent out to the entire membership. With membership, you can choose whether to receive all emails, or daily or weekly digests. You can also choose to provide a short description of your interests that will be included with your name in the membership directory.
