|
After I sign-up, what
emails should I expect from you?
| Immediately after you register, you are sent an
email titled: "Response necessary to complete subscription". You must respond to this email
to confirm and complete your registration.
|
| After registration is confirmed, you receive an
email titled: "Registered for CT eNotes®".
|
|
7.
|
What is Opt-In registration?
| Opt-In registration requires you to respond to a
confirmation email. This system protects you from receiving unwanted emails and from
anyone else trying to sign you up without your knowledge.
|
| If you do not respond,
you will NOT have completed sign-up and you will NOT receive any CT eNotes®
| Here is how it works:
Immediately after you sign-up, a confirmation email is sent to the registered email
address. You must click on the link provided or reply to the email. This confirms your
registration.
|
|
| The downside to this type of system is that
you will NOT be registered if you do NOT respond to the confirmation email. We are not permitted to re-contact you
through CT eNotes® to remind you to confirm.
|

|
I signed up for CT
eNotes® but haven't received any mailings. Is this a
problem? What should I do?
Yes, it is a problem. Here are three
possibilities and solutions.
You never
received the confirmation email
| It is possible that you entered an incorrect
email address. Go back to the sign-up form, re-enter your email and check over the
information you provided. If your email address is incorrect, cancel your sign-up and
start over.
|
You
received the confirmation email but did not
reply
| If you do not confirm, you are automatically
removed from the CT eNotes® registration. Go back and re-signup.
|
You
confirmed your email address but did not receive your welcome letter
| Your ISP
(Internet Service Provider such as Earthlink, AOL,
or your institution or organizations mail server)
may not
permit HTML mail or email that contains images. Go to Update Your Profile link (on the CT eNotes® you received). Check that you want to receive text only
email.
|
| If
you still do not receive your welcome
letter, you may need to use an email address from a different ISP
|
| Many institutional email providers (such as the NHS) do not permit
mailings like CT eNotes®. If you use a free service such as
Gmail,
Hotmail,
Yahoo, etc you should have no difficulties. You need to go back and
sign up for CT eNotes® using this type of email address.
|

|
What is the
difference between HTML and text only emails?
| HTML email is email that contains pictures,
graphics, and otherwise looks similar to a web page.
|
| Text only email is email that contains only
text. It omits any special highlights, colors, pictures and graphics.
|
| Some ISP (Internet Service Provides) do not
permit HTML email.
|

Why do I have to verify my email
before making any changes to my CT eNotes®
subscription?
This is a
security protection for subscribers. The ensures that you authorized any
changes or updates that were made to your subscription.
