Andrew Billinghurst kindly sent me a clarification of the matter of attached files sent to RootsWeb mailing lists - "A text attachment is allowed past the filters and merges the text >attachment into the email, so in a sense it becomes one. All bits of >the message will be archived, no bits that got through to the list >will miss being archived." I am trying to learn more about how the filters operate and what filetypes are passed in order to understand what types of formatting, if any, are preserved in the "text attachment". Fletch >
