All plain text messages will continue to go through without any problems. Should you accidently send a message in HTML code, enriched text or with an attachment, the offending message will NOT be sent to the list or digest, and you will receive a message from Rootsweb saying your message was rejected. Again, all plain text messages will continue to be accepted as they have in the past. If you have any questions about changing the settings on your email program, please goto: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm and it will explain how to make the necessary changes. The reason for blocking HTML and attachments is that is can cause the digests to be unreadable for users of America On-Line (AOL). Also a few people send attachments which are so large that they cause an increased load on the Rootsweb servers. They have as many as three million email messages a day now going through the Rootsweb servers. Last and probably most important is the fact that "plain text" email messages in the archives will have a longer life as they will be more easily read in the future. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your cooperation. --------------B765C8DED55A0EBA76CE34B5--
