It makes it hard for some email programs to deal with them. ============ That is one of the taglines. Tag 8: ---------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE remove as much of the Original Message as possible when replying to a List Posting. Include only that part of the original message important to your reply. ---------------------------------------------------------- Some people: don't bother to, don't know how to, or forget to erase part of the original message when replying. Even I, being nearly purrfact, sometimes forget to delete the extraneous parts of a message I am replying to. For that I apologize. The RootsWeb taglines are like TV commercials, they pay the bills. I prefer them to a banner adds and dancing monkeys. The ten Family Origins taglines are more like public service announcements, telling the reader how to do this or where to find that. the Family-Origins-Users-Mailing list administrator Alfred Eller

This makes me think perhaps you may be getting the list in digest form. I don't get that, but if it includes all the taglines on all the messages then that would be a mess if you had to scroll through taglines before you could read the next message. And it *has* been noted that some email programs do have trouble with the digest form. The solution to that would be to get the individual messages format instead of the digest form. Seems to me it would be easier to cull out and delete the messages you don't want to read by looking at the headers than by scrolling through a lot of them all jammed together. Especially if you don't read every single message that comes along. Wayne League
