Hi -- Peter L. <peter@leroy.ws> was wondering: <...... Hmm wonder how one does add a pdf file to HWE? > Peter (and anyone else wondering), pdf files cannot be sent to HWE or any other Rootsweb mailing lists. The Rootsweb filters will accept only plain text messages. Anything else will be rejected. However, the Message Boards are set up so that one can add certain types of attachments to their post. But pdf files are not one of the files which are acceptable. Attachments have to be either Gedcom files or graphics files. Should anyone want to add an attachment on a Board, however, here's how to do it on the HWE Board. It'll work the same way on any Rootsweb Board, though. Once you're on the HWE Board here: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.religious.huguenots.huguenots-walloons-eur click on Post New Message which you'll see near the top on the left. This will open up a window in which you can type your message. For example, saying what is in the attachment you're posting. Below that you'll see another link which says Attachments: [Add]. Clicking on that will lead you to a place where you can type the attachment info. However, notice that it says at the top: "You may only upload GEDCOM files or graphics files. Graphics files will be converted to .JPG or .GIF upon upload. Other files types are not accepted." Hope this has been helpful info. In closing, I asking again that the chat about publications cease, as I requested earlier. And, as I also mentioned, watch that you're not sending a message to the list which was meant to be sent privately. Regards, Andrea (HWE list concierge)
