A reminder about gatewayed messages.....Gynon:) Previously published in RootsWeb Review: Vol. 6, No. 8, 19 February 2003. If you subscribe to a RootsWeb Mailing List that is gatewayed to a corresponding Message Board you probably have observed messages coming through on the Mailing List with the following notation: "This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list." If you wish to reply to a gatewayed message, be aware that the author of a Message Board message may not be a subscriber to the Mailing List to which his or her message has been copied. Click on the link included in the message to be taken directly to the message on the board. There you can click on POST REPLY and type in your response. That way the author of the original message will be notified of your response and will be able to view it on the board. Additionally, your reply will be gatewayed to the Mailing List and you need not post a separate response there. However, there are some instances when it may not be convenient or possible for Mailing List users to post their responses on the Message Boards as described above. For example, if you have an e-mail only service and/or limited access to the Internet, and as a result read and compose e-mail for Mailing Lists while offline, then clicking on the URL link in the message is inconvenient or impossible. To reply to a gatewayed message under such circumstances, remember to include a private response to the author of the board message. Do this by making sure that his or her e-mail address, which is included in every gatewayed post, appears in the SEND TO box of your e-mail message.
