I suspect that you are subscribed to <ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com>, which is the version of the List where everyone's posting to the List is sent to you as individually E-Mailed copies - and yes, you would even get copies of the one's from people who are just wanting to un-subscribe from the List. If this is the case, and you don't want to receive all of the individual E-Mails, I would recommend that you un-subscribe from <ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com>, then subscribe instead to <ILGALLAT-D@rootsweb.com>. This is the Digest version of the List, and it consolidates several of the individual postings onto just one E-Mail to you. This cuts way down on the amount of mail that you get, and I find that it's a lot easier to follow a particular thread of conversation between several members this way. Good luck, and welcome to the List. Mike Chambers St. Louis County, Mo. >
