Hello listers a little bit about the hotmail saga ... and then some about the different RootsWeb mail modes. It looks as though hotmail cannot cope with addresses that are subscribed to the L mode of the mailing list. Those on the Digest so far appear to have no problems (fingers crossed). So would suggest that those who are in the L mode switch over to the D mode. The added advantage of subscribing to the D mode is that it is volumised and numbered. For whatever reason ;) if the numbers don't run in sequence then you know you have missed one and can get it direct from the archives. It also makes your mailbox list a LOT SMALLER!!! None of the above can be done via the L mode that I know of. Have fun everyone ... including the hotmail subscribers! Bright Blessings Sandie My four grandparents family names that I am researching.
