Mimi, The Ortenau List is the only List where I actually write to the List (most of my mail is side, off-List attempts at answers). For the Ortenau mail, I often add a cc for the original sender. You did not receive my cc as I don't do well, mentally, with robotic Spam Filters. I have my own Spam Filter set at Medium, I have learned to recognize close to 100% of the Spam which does slide through and I do delete it before I ever think about opening it but I do want an open address as from time to time I receive an e-mail in answer to ten year or older message that I had dropped into some genealogical source. My message to you is also in the List message. djweber [email protected]
