At the present time the Rootsweb BROWSE function is - again - not functioning. It got hung up before 9 / 11, and hasn't functioned since. But there are work arounds. For instance do a SEARCH for "Nov 2001" , including the doublequotes and you will see all Nov 2001 messages. Not recommended on something like Virus-Discussion-L 'cause of the high volume. If you feel that the BROWSE functionality is NEEDED, don't hesitate to contact the Rootsweb Helpdesk See http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help.cgi via HELP on http://www.rootsweb.com/ E H!
