As summer approaches for our Northern hemisphere subscribers, this is
to remind all about the subscription options available to handle
vacations, extended absences, or changes of address or institution. The
subscription self-management page at H-Net is a powerful tool to help
subscribers update their H-Urban subscriptions.

For those who will be leaving on vacations or academic travel, we ask
that you temporarily suspend your subscription during your absence if
you will be leaving your email unattended or set to send automatic
vacation messages. If you are using an automatic vacation message and
do not change your mail setting, H-URBAN editors may be forced to
suspend your subscription without notice to you so as to avoid
receiving the vacation message each time a posting is sent.

You may temporarily suspend your mail yourself through the convenient
H-NET Subscription Management web site at

http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/lists/manage.cgi

by selecting "Mail delivery disabled temporarily" (and unselecting it
on your return).

The advantage of temporarily suspending your mail service instead of
terminating your subscription and renewing it later is that this
preserves all your current H-URBAN settings such as "DIGEST" or "INDEX".

Another advantage of suspending your subscription over unsubscribing is
that you do not have to complete a new H-Urban survey, a requirement of
all new and returning subscribers. Although, if the summer is also
seeing a change in your institutional status, you may wish to
re-subscribe or request a new survey from us at H-Urban@h-net.msu.edu
to update your status. Whatever method you choose, we encourage all

H-Urban subscribers to familiarize themselves with the H-Net
Subscription Management tool to be able to make changes to your
subscriptions -- and of course welcome queries at h-urban@h-net.msu.edu
if this does not meet your needs.

Best,
Wendy Plotkin
