They indicate that you have successfully posted 33 times to this list this year. Google mail doesn't send you a copy of your own message, an annoying "feature" of gmail, so perhaps this is why you believe your messages haven't reached the list. If you've posted recently and don't see a copy of your message in the list archives, try posting again, making sure that your message is in plain text. Messages that contain HTML are supposed to bounce to the list administrator, but that doesn't always happen; HTML messages are sometimes simply deleted by RootsWeb's mail server. If you need further assistance, contact me off list and I'll try to help. Lynne

Kevin, I have had the same problem and I don't have gmail. Perhaps it is the HTML that is getting my messages. Who knows!? (rhetorical question). -- Carolyn
