Hi list: I notice that the list isn't working as I would expect. Each of the messages that I am receiving comes with a URL to check the message boards. Is this normal for this list? All of my other lists show the message in full text. I'm new to this list. Sue

Sue, I'm not the list admin for this list; just another subscriber. But I admin lots of other lists on Rootsweb. You are correct in noticing that a lot of the traffic on this list is the result of gatewayed message board posts. But certainly not all messages start out that way. Mine for example isn't coming from the message board and neither did yours. But I'm guessing this is a rather small list with few subscribers, and lots of folks who primarily use the gatewayed message board for their communication purposes. It may also be the case that the subscribers on this list are very well educated, and when a message board post comes in, they reply on the board as is preferred rather than only replying to the list. -- Mary Dresser Taffet researching Archibald McCLOSKY of Shelton, Fairfield County, CT On Sat, 5 Jun 2004 [email protected] wrote: > Hi list: > > I notice that the list isn't working as I would expect.
