Having trouble posting your message?
TeacherArtExchange does not accept e-mails formatted in HTML. Check the settings in your e-mail client to ensure that your e-mail is in "plain text." Contact your Internet service provider or the customer service department of your mail client for help. If you use AOL, this may be the reason why your messages aren't making it to the listserv, because the default setting in AOL is to send e-mails in HTML format.
For Your Own Security
Be aware that the content of messages posted to TeacherArtExchange is publicly available. In addition to sending your messages to all TeacherArtExchange subscribers, the Getty also posts all messages in our online archive, which is accessible to anyone coming to our Web site. For this reason, please do not include information of a personal or sensitive nature in your posts. You may not want to include e-mail addresses in the body of your message for this reason.
A note about your name: Although your full e-mail address will not be published in the online archive, the portion of your e-mail address before the @ symbol will be included in your post. In addition, the "display name" associated with your e-mail address will be published. Many people use their real name as their display name. You can change your display name in the account settings of your e-mail client.
Liability
Please note that TeacherArtExchange is not moderated. This means that no one reads or edits your e-mail in any way before it is distributed to all TeacherArtExchange subscribers and posted in our online archive. The J. Paul Getty Trust cannot verify the accuracy or truth of the content of messages posted to TeacherArtExchange, or be held accountable for message content.
