    3. Running a bit late today, but anyway welcome to Jan Garner, Alison McGeary, Nola Cunningham and Joseph Bispham who have joined this week, and welcome back to Blazek. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Ian Murray writes in response to last week's virus warning ... You might want to inform your list members that somewhere in RootsWeb there is a virus list - If anyone wants to get this type of notice they can signup. ===== ===== ===== Several subscribers pointed out that with MS Outlook Express it is possible with private mail to get attacked by worms that use self executing html codes. Most Virus programs have e-mail options to avoid this type of event. I also understand that there is a patch available on the Microsoft site to fix the problem. Again I stress that you can't get these through list mail, as RootsWeb either bounces mail with html or translates it to plain text. ****** ****** ****** It will be two years this week since Chester Cowan first started this list. We currently have 110 List mode subscribers and 35 on Digest mode. During the period, we have also had about 70 join and leave List mode and about 40 join and leave Digest mode. In year one we had about 300 messages, and in year two with the addition of the GenWeb query board posts we will have about 500 messages. To check whether any of these 800 or so messages includes your area of interest, go to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Type in the list name: ButeshireGenWeb, then at the next screen enter your search details and select a year. ****** ****** ****** Finally, to all father's out there, a happy Father's Day ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items. Peter Cook [email protected] List owner and Co-host with Barbara < [email protected] > of the ButeshireGenWeb mailing list. List owner of the SCT-RENFREW and SCT-ARGYLL mailing lists.
