    2. In a message dated 98-07-04 19:24:13 EDT, you write: > I'm on AOL and digest mode. No problems so far.

They are supposed to be converted to text files--that could explain why Delia got the virus warning when she went to download it. Did you get a warning that the file could contain a virus? Do you have the software to decode MIME messages? I never bothered with it myself. I have never seen a rootsweb attachment come through as a Mime attachment! A couple others also told me they had no trouble downloading and opening the file. HMMM! I really think Delia has either a computer problem or a problem with her AOL software. I may suggest she either go to single message mode or else open a free hotmail or mailcity e-mail account and get her digests sent to that account--they won't be turned into attachments that way. With the smarlist software that rootsweb is now using it is difficult for anyone to sub themselves in both modes to their list using the same e-mail address, and I wanted to monitor both modes--so I subbed in digest mode at hotmail and get my single messages sent to AOL.
