This is you Bottom List owner Jim Lantrip. A while back filters were installed to assist Rootsweb in processing the millions of messages they receive and forward every day. Also to help cut down on archive file space. Rootsweb lists will only except plain Text Format of Messages. Anything else will be forwarded to the list owner. They will not accept attachments these also are forwarded to the list owner. So If you send an attachment send it directly to the person you wish to have it. And not through the Bottom-L. The Correct address for sending messages to the list is Bottom-L@rootsweb.com If you are receiving the Digest mode you should send messages to the -L address. If you wish to unsubscribe send mail to Bottom-L-request@rootsweb.com and put the word unsubscribe as the only word in the body of the letter. We will have the Bottom(s) Family History Network (BFHN) on line shortly and I am sure there will be a down load page where we can download information we are interested in. Hang in there It will get better. Jim Lantrip researching GAINES, LANTRIP, COOPER, LOMAX, DEVANEY, VAUGHN, SULLIVANT, WALLER, BARKSDALE, RUSH, CROFT, WELLS, MCLOUGHLIN, FUSSEL, AND FAWN.
