Before the posting copied below develops into a lot of misunderstanding, please take note of the following: 1) RootsWeb mail list postings are sent out in plain text (i.e., no formatting), with no attachments allowed. It is impossible for a virus to be transmitted through our lists. 2) Several of the viruses out there today have the ability to forger the sender's name to an outgoing e-mail. Therefore, just because an e-mail shows that it is from countycork-l@rootsweb.com doesn't mean that it actually is. For all listers, please learn how to look at the full (i.e., expanded) headers on an e-mail to see who the actual originator is. If an e-mail shows that it is from countycork-l@rootsweb.com, but the expanded header shows a different original sender, then it's almost certain that the other address is the infected one. 3) If you really think you have a problem like this, the best contact address is to the list administrator at countycork-admin@rootsweb.com. My apologies to the list for an off-topic post. No responses, please (unless you want to send it only to my personal address)! Let's get back to our Irish genealogy!
