I closed all my gateways to avoid assorted annoyances some time ago. I reopended one of them, but closed it again before the migration to the new mailing list software because of the possible problems. I do not intend to open any of them again until the upgrade of the boards. Once that upgrade takes place (or when staff at Rootsweb informs us that it will NOT take place) then I may reconsider for some or all of them. In the meantime, I have no envelopes of any color and I had forgotten completely that envelopes ever existed or that they mean something. When a board is adopted does it come to the new admin the way it used to be - or with the gateway automatically closed? or automatically open? ie - when a board is orphaned, do they change anything about the gateway? I have a suggestion, though, if they want to give us more information and maybe prod people to open gateways. They could add to that "You are the board admin" message one which would say either Messages to this board go also to the xxxxx mailing list. or Messages to this board currently do not go to the xxxxx mailing list" with a link to tell how to contact the list admin to offer positive feedback to the list admin for opening the gateway.
