If there is, why was the system changed to become worse? I am sure there are some persons who access RootsWeb and only have one e-mail account with their software. Others have to create more e-mail addresses, Why? Anytime you make changes there are some difference between the old and new. Many of the REALLY good aspects of the new software are ones you won't be seeing right from the start because they still require some additional work. For instance: once everything is in place you will be able to handle your own list subscriptions from a webpage and can set NO MAIL when you go on vacation, set your own option as to the format you want for digests (individually) and even select what LANGUAGE you want to receive your list mail in! There are so many great features I can't name them all. BUT...along with every changeover there are some things that are different and some of those differences require adjustments on our part. One difference is that while the OLD list software considered each list TWO separate lists (and L list and a D list) the new software just treats it as ONE list with two subscription modes--so it becomes an either/or situation. You choose your mode but you can't have duplication of an address. You could sign up for digests under ONE screen name though and list mail under a different one. That would work even if the only mail you use is AOL email. Joan
