Dear Cousins: Most people will receive copies of the messages they send to the lists at Rootsweb.com There are some email clients, such as Gmail, that do not put copies of messages sent to yourself in your in box. You have a copy in your sent box and can check against the archives to see if your post is there as well. <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=boyd> When someone replies to your message, a gmail account will show your original message and the reply in a conversation that WILL show in your in-box. This is a gmail function, not a Rootsweb setting. If your message does not appear in the archives, please contact the admin <Boyd-Admin@rootsweb.com> before re-posting your message. There is sometimes a delay at the server. If there's another issue at hand, the admin may be able to assist you in trouble-shooting it so it may be resolved. Yours Aye, Lauren Boyd List Admin Boyd-Admin@rootsweb.com
