Troubleshooting Questions
Why do I get a "Your message to converge awaits moderator approval" message?
This (most likely) occurs because you are using Berkeley Email. For various reasons, Berkeley email accounts are identified as name@berkeley.edu or name@uclink.berkeley.edu or even name@uclink4.berkeley.edu.
Your outgoing email address must match the email address subscribed to the Converge. If necessary, login and change your email address.
You may also get this message if you changed email accounts recently. If this is so, go ahead and re-subscribe.
Usage Questions
How do I view older list messages?

How do I see who is subscribed to Converge?
The list is composed of ex-CZ'ars, current CZ'ars, some friends of Krackistan and possibly a few others who have never set foot in Berkeley. There is a roster of subscribers that you can view if you are a subscribed member.
How I do stop receiving so many emails?
Converge is a busy place. You have three options:
Change to digest mode. This means that individual messages will be combined before they are sent to you.
Setup your email software to sort messages into a special folder.
