Group Entries: Join an E-Mail Group

If a group in the directory has been set up by the owner so that people can join it, you can add yourself to the list of members so that you will receive messages sent to the group. If you want to be a member of a group that has not been set up so that people can add themselves to it, you can contact the group owner and ask that he or she add you by sending e-mail to groupname-request@umich.edu where you have substituted the name of the group for groupname.
