To submit a message to BSGmail:

Send your message to BSGMAIL_at_JISCMAIL.AC.UK. The BSGmail moderator will then approve the mailing before it is circulated to the list.

Top Tips to ensure your message is quick and easy to read and thereby well disseminated:

* Ensure that the subject line contains the relevant topic (list members can then easily recognise the relevance (or not) of the message).

* Add all relevant details/content to the body of the message (avoid attachments as the JiscMail system does not like them, instead include all relevant information in the body of the message).
