That is correct, however that means; 1) If somebody forgets to "reply to all", the list doesn't see the reply 2) People get 2 copies of mails once via the list and once direct. These people then send e-mails to [email protected] to say our mail is broken. (this is in addition to people who send mail to say that our mail is broken when they get a reply to somebody else's question via the list!) > Won't setting the "reply-to-address" to the list potentially make a > mail-loop and we'll get erroring messages bouncing around? Nope. Bounces go to the envelope-sender, not reply-to. -- Dave Mayall

A "reply to all" sends a message to the sender *and* to the list. Does this only work in Eudora, or also in Outlook / Outlook Express? Won't setting the "reply-to-address" to the list potentially make a mail-loop and we'll get erroring messages bouncing around?

Hi All, I've been trying to mould my brain around this concept of File Ownership and I am truly stumped. Why is it that a file of data, originating from FreeBMD, transcribed by a volunteer to FreeBMD, Uploaded to FreeBMD is considered to be the 'property' and responsibility of that transcriber? I see little sense and little advantage in it at all and it seems to create far more problems than solutions. I would have thought that most transcribers would be quite happy to finish a page, upload it and forget about it - FreeBMD could then move it from their upload area to a centralised repository. If changes were needed to that file it wouldn't be too difficult to find a responsible, experienced transcriber(s) willing to take on the task on behalf of the project as a whole. We immediately loose the problems of AWOL transcribers with files that 'no-one' can get at easily when they need changing. We can forget about our (imagined) problems of security of files ("I can't touch 'his' f! iles"), we don't have complaints from ex (and even current) transcribers when they receive emails pointing out mistakes in 'their' files and life generally seems to become simpler. What's the problem with this? I can't see one. Regards Ian

I am all for having the "reply-to address set back to the list". Not everyone may be aware that clicking the "reply to sender" means actually that. I get a lot of emails sent personally to me rather returned via the appropriate list.

Hi Mike I have redirected this to the DISCUSS List I would appreciate the comments of Dave, Graham on this one. So that others know what we are talking about you had an entry 'See m/83' which occupied the columns reserved for the Vol. No and Page No. I can't recollect seeing any responses to the FreeBMD list saying to use the Pick List to get to the Vol. No , I assume any responses were sent off list. The only responses which spring readily to mind were from me and Dave Mayall. I still maintain, that you shouldn't be using the Pick List to determine the missing Vol. No but instead should be inserting ? and as you point out 3 underscores for the missing Page No. Allan Raymond [email protected] http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/Monarchies_of_Europe.htm FreeBMD - putting birth marriages and deaths on the Internet http://FreeBMD.rootsweb.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Canny" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 01 October 2001 21:50 Subject: Re: cryptic handwritten entry 'See m/83' entry Thanks for the comments and advice; the consensus seems to be that I should allow the pick-list to add the Vol. No. and use 3 underscores in the Page No. column.

Hello Dave, I have been in hospital for a week and I,m wondering if any decision has been made regarding the "period" on the Deaths. I certainly find it easier to leave it out, as it slows me down. Cheers Jack.

I am using SpeedBMD at the moment and I'm thinking of trying WinBMD, Can anyone tell me the address for the download Cheers Jack.

I'm glad that I at least saw Graham Hart's response to this appeal for assistance. I would have thought that there would have been a bit more of an uproar with what amounts to a transcriber appealing for "ideas" (i.e. guesses) as to what the transcriber themself confesses are undecipherable (and not even quantifiable) characters.

Totally by coincidence, I got an email on a separate family interest list this morning with two girls/women named Karenhappuch and Kerrenhappuch. So yes type what you see and use * or _ otherwise in your transcribing, but this was an interesting "rare" name to make us aware of. Thank you.

Hi, Plase remember that, whatever help people give you in what it might be, you should still only transcribe what you see. If you can't read the letters then you shouldn't guess. :) Cheers Graham Tony Meighan wrote: > > Hi Scribes, > > I am at present 'doing' the handwritten 1845 births for Morgan, amongst the > countless numbers of John, David & Mary I have found one given name that > has me totally dumbfounded. > It appears after Julia, but, before Lewis, to me it appears to be ; > Le___happuck > there are approx. three letters in the name that I am not able to > decipher! > > Has anyone any idea what name it is? > > Tony M > > ============================== > Search over 1 Billion names at Ancestry.com! > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/rwlist1.asp

The name means 'horn of paint' (?) and appears in the Old Testament at the end of the Book of Job (Chap 42, verse 14).
