Finally, I have ported the RDG. All 282 subscribers have been signed up to the new list.

The main thing to be aware of is that, of course, there are new email addresses for postings and for commands to the server. The new posting address is

enrichment@lists.mcgill.ca

In other words, according to the server's view of things, the name of the list is "enrichment." It could be neither "RDG" nor "restitution" as it had to be 4-10 characters. But as before we can call it RDG when we are not talking to the server. The new server's email address is:

listserv@lists.mcgill.ca

So long as we can all use those addresses, it will be pretty seamless (he hopes). Basic commands: subscribe with "subscribe enrichment", unsubscribe with "signoff enrichment" (although listserv also allows "unsubscribe" I think), see a list of subscribers with "review enrichment". Remember that commands go to the server, not the posting address.

ANYONE RECEIVING THIS MESSAGE IS ALREADY SUBSCRIBED.

For those who do not know, there are searchable RDG archives, accessible on the web. We have list member Steve Hedley to thank for an archive of all RDG postings from the beginning (1995). This is on Steve's Restitution web site at Cambridge University:

http://www.law.cam.ac.uk/restitution

Steve's site also has cases, articles and other material relating to the law of restitution for unjust enrichment. The McGill server automatically creates a web-based archive, which is accessible at:

http://lists.mcgill.ca/archives/enrichment.html

This archive, however, begins only with the migration of the RDG to McGill and so there is nothing on there yet.

If you are interested in a full explanation of the listserv software, which will tell you about commands you can send to the server to customize some aspects of your subscription, see the users' manual at:

http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8d/userindex.html

To prevent the Star-Trek-like problem of existing in parallel universes, the Oxford majordomo server will no longer allow postings to go through automatically. They will be bounced to me and I will post them on the new list. Nor will it accept any new subscriptions. So please update your email address books.
