HI Everyone, I just forwarded two messages to the list. I have had them open the gateway between the Ivester Rootsweb message board and the mail list. However, I have done it in such a way that instead of being sent directly from the board to the mail list I will get them first and then forward them on. My reason for this is.... this will remove the possibility that spam or other inappropriate messages will get through to the list. Example: Today someone posted a message to several boards that contains an attachment. The attachment contained pornography. This way I can keep things like that from coming through. Hope you enjoy getting both types of messages via the list. Take care - Emma
