No - it's a newgroup. Go to http://www.genealogienetz.de/genealogy.html change to English and select:Newsgroups this takes you to: http://www.genealogienetz.de/misc/listserv-e.html You thne have to subscribe - details of how to do this on the second page. You can subscibe in digest mode (one eamil with a list of every message posted and you look through this) or mail mode and each post comes to you as an individual email and you delete those you don't want. Or your ISP should provide access to newsgroups and you can just subscribe. If you use Outlook Express, open it up and in the Inbox click on Tools then Newsgroups. You will then get a Newsgroup Subscription page. You can search for soc.gene and that will bring up all of the soc.genealogy newsgroups and you can select the German newsgroup. You will then need to suscribe - very easy and there will be directions for doing that when you go in. Basically you send an email to a specified address with Subscribe in the subject line. This assumes you have the newsgroup server details correct via your ISP. You need to set these up the same way as you set up mail in that the ISP will ned to provide an "address" for the newsgroups. If you don't have this set up call your ISP and get them to advise how this is done. Very easy. I received a number of useful responses when I posted to the Soc.genealogy.german newsgroup.
