In Outlook Express: Tools > Options > Send > put a checkmark in "Save copy of sent messages in the 'Sent Items' folder" Your posts to one of these RootsWeb mail lists will be sent to you because they are sent to all subscribers, and you can't post a message unless you are a subscriber. Some other mail lists may work the same way, but regular email is not returned to you unless it bounces for some reason. Alfred D.
