    1. Genealogy System-wide action needed on viruses; thanks for your tips and encouragement

    3. Anti-virus help needed system-wide. E-mail Tip: Use subject line and first 2 lines for main idea; details will follow.(Reader can delete w/o opening mail) I didn't know about the shift-delete tip from Karen and (?) to be able to not open the highlighted message. Works great on unwanted messages and helps avoid potential problems. Therefore, if everyone would put the main content in the first 2 lines and also use the subject line for names and type of message, we might avoid some of the "no message" virus forwardings where just the subject line was stolen and used to gain your confidence. I hope that Rootsweb, GenWeb, Ancestry, etc. will help the e-mail site volunteers by providing warnings, tips, how to use the virus protection programs, and to generally educate a trusting audience. I've seen a lot of unsubscribe messages on various sites throughout the country and some unhappy letters sent to the site managers. We're all learning. Karen, thanks for your encouragement to not let our communication system be ruined for all of us. You're not paranoid! I've gotten two different virus messages in two days from different people volunteering in genealogy services. I suspect I'm not alone in this problem. What can we do to protect our heritage communications - (In 2 lines or less! - :) ) Allana
