Theresa and anyone else who received those messages as you listed.............my daughter and I were trying to test out the list to make sure that it was working properly before we sent out emails that it was up and running. I guess that anyone who signed on in Digest mode got all those test messages................sorry..................but this is our first time at having a mailing list and we wanted to make sure everything was ok. Gaytha In a message dated 98-03-17 21:21:38 EST, you write: << Regarding the LANATCHI email.... I subscribed to the 'D' digest form of the list and received a short email from the list on Tuesday, Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 09:33:01 -0800 (PST). It appeared as thought there should have been more to the mail..it listed 5 'items' and the subscribe unsubscribe directions, but nothing else. I am unsure as to whether this was intentional or if my ISP cannot handle list forums. As this list is new these quirks are to be expected. The mail read: LANATCHI-D Digest Volume 98 : Issue 1 Today's Topics: #1 TEST MSG [LaFamTree <LaFamTree@aol.com>] #2 Another Test [LaFamTree <LaFamTree@aol.com>] #3 Test [Diggersinc <Diggersinc@aol.com>] #4 tesrt [LaFamTree <LaFamTree@aol.com>] #5 [LANATCHI-L] WELCOME [LaFamTree <LaFamTree@aol.com>] but nothing else. Is this what everyone else got or am I not getting it all? Thanks to all and heres to a prosperous 'list". Theresa
