Dear Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List Friends, Some incoming messages to the BW List have been redirected to my administrative mailbox today because they were too large in size for the RootsWeb computer system to accommodate as a list post. This is a friendly reminder that the computer system which operates our list sets a default MAXIMUM message length of 10K. Fortunately, for most messages, this length is more than adequate to communicate well. :-) To insure that your list messages get through so that other list subscribers can see them, PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU: 1) KEEP YOUR MESSAGE RELATIVELY BRIEF (under 10K) --- OR *ALTERNATIVELY,* 2) *DO NOT* INCLUDE MORE THAN ONE ORIGINAL MESSAGE AND YOUR RESPONSE TO IT IN A SINGLE LIST POST. In other words, omit the running thread of messages that have gone before, or just include *excerpts* from something, if it is pertinent to your response. 3) Remember that RootsWeb mailing lists do NOT accept attachment files of any kind. These are removed and discarded automatically by the system. If you wish to share these with particular list members who may have expressed interest in reviewing them, please use off-list email or other means (such as posting the information to a Web page or site) to do so. 3) Please do not attempt to share data such as ancestral charts, pedigrees or scanned documents on list. If you wish to share these with particular list members who may have expressed interest in reviewing them, please use off-list email or other means to do so. Observing these guidelines will help prevent your message being rejected by the RootsWeb computer. THANK YOU! Wishing you the best research outcomes, Carla HELLER, Los Angeles, California, USA mscarlah@earthlink.net List Co-Administrator, ROOTSWEB's Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List
