The new Rootsweb mailing list system (Mailman) conversion has started and will continue for the next couple of weeks, staggered alphabetically. You may check this link for the timetable: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html While the "migration" of the lists should process uneventfully for listmembers, there are a few points that need to be covered: 1. AOL users (and possibly some other ISPs), please check your spam folders, and, if you find list mail held as spam, you will need to be sure to click the *THIS IS NOT SPAM* link to send the list mail to your current mailbox. 2. If you are subscribed to both L & D mail modes of this list, the new system is not set up to send both to the same email address. If you want to be subscribed in both modes it will be necessary to use another email address for your digest mail. If you are subscribed to the list in both mail modes with the same address, you will be dropped from the digest list, so if this happens to you, please resubscribe with a different email address. This will not effect those who subscribe in either of the mail modes exclusively. 3. The list's email address will change from GORHAM-L@rootsweb.com to GORHAM@rootsweb.com. However, both addresses will apprently work. SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE messages *must* contain the word "subscribe" or "unsubcribe" in the SUBJECT of the message (vice message body, as in the past). 4. In the event you receive an unsubscribe notice and believe it to be in error, please contact me privately at GORHAM-admin@rootsweb.com and I'll correct the problem. 5. Digest subscribers may notice some changes to the list digests. In addition, the digest volume and issue number may be different (out of sequence) from what you had been receiving. If your digests arrive in a different format than you are used to and you would like it changed, contact me privately at the list admin address: GORHAM-admin@rootsweb.com. 6. If you use email headers to filter list mail to special folders (as I do), you will probably need to tweak your filters once the new system begins. 7. If you run into any unusual or confusing occurrences with mail from this list that could possibly be related to the changeover, let me know. Regards, Dale Givens List Administrator
