-- [ From: Janet Reinhold * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- 1. Reply To List. I think it might be a good idea to set this list to "reply to list". Right now, it is set up to reply to the sender. Any comments, anyone? What this means is that you can hit your reply button, and your message would be sent to the whole list instead of just the person who wrote the message. This is a convenient feature, but one which can be misunderstood. Replies meant to be private may be unknowingly "broadcast"--thus resulting in mistakes which can't be un-done.... 2. Closed List. Right now, this list is an "open" list. That is to say, anyone can post to it (like I've just done from my other email accounts, which aren't 'subscribed'). Although we haven't been 'hit' yet, it IS a possibility that we might be 'hit' by "spams". One option which I have as listowner is to make it a closed list, which means only those folks who BELONG to the subscriber list may post, or those which are designated "okay" to post can be allowed to post even though they aren't subscribed. Does anyone have comments as to the desirability of this action? 3. Archived Messages. I have okayed this list to be archived, which means that you will be able to retrieve old messages from the Rootsweb website. Some people may fear that their information might be used against them in some way, perhaps by "spammers" looking for email addresses to get their advertisements sent to. I see the archives retrieval process as beneficial to getting our information shared and thereby we would ourselves gain by getting feedback on it. If anyone has a problem with this, now's the time to air it!
