I would say that the large e-mails were almost certainly the cause of Geoff's problems. Many ISP allocate surprisingly small amounts of space on their computers to individual mail boxes, and once these are filled, incoming messages are refused, and Rootsweb then unsubs for the reasons Helen outlined yesterday.

I have so far not received another message unsubbing me, so maybe ...... Thanks to all those who came up with possible remedies, but I think the reason was that my 12yr old niece - who knows more about computers than I ever will - sent me two very long webcam videos that took me over an hour to download (yes my material is already obsolete!). I don't know how much space is available in our individual mailboxes, but since I deleted these things I have had no further problems. Do the experts out there consider this to be a plausible explanation?
