This depends on your mail settings. Under Mail Settings (in the mail menu) and under the GENERAL TAB...select either to quote the entire text or select highlighted text. If this isn't the problem -- please explain in more detail. Joan

Jon ------ Jon- The error message that produced your bounces and caused you to be unsubbed is this: RLY:CS4 http://postmaster.info.aol.com/errors/554rlycs4.html EXPLANATION: This error message indicates that your email has been identified as coming from a server or web site that may have a compromised script or program available. SOLUTION: Please contact the server administrator or hosting provider for additional assistance. ---- I've seen this error (recently) before and Andrew and I did a little test and proved what causes this--it IS an actual error in the formatting of the digests on RootsWeb's end. It has to do with dashes being used as separaters in the digests. RootsWeb is using too many dashes in the format of the digests. Why the bounces only occur for SOME lists' digests (only a few) I don't know--but please feel free to report the problem to the HelpDesk and note that Andrew did troubleshoot the issue and proved what the problem is, and passed it along to those staffers who will be replacing him after he leaves staff today. Apparently they have not fixed it yet. As a temporary solution--when you resub do so in LIST mode instead of digest until the problem is resolved. Joan

What a great tip! So many of the tips I read pertain only to AOL 9.0, which I do not have. This tip worked for my 6.0. I am not sure how or when I will use it, but it certainly is good to know!
