When I go to List Subscribers there are three options The CSV Export has already been covered Unsubscribe selected , which works as it should And lastly "Unsubscribe All" Which seems a bizarre option to have and can see no obvious reason that anyone would do that Or have I missed a use for it ? I will happily swap it for a subscriber list with names ;-) -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

If someone wants to download all the emails in an archive, that should be ok, shouldn't it? What would be the issue since the information is available on the internet? Lin, the Mbox format is mailbox. I don't know what the appropriate reader is for that...that is left up to the downloader to find.

I just tested web mail (Yahoo) and that worked as it should as well Could it be one list ? or does it do it with all ? Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Apr-18 10:34 PM, Lynne wrote: > I'm using rotten web mail (don't ask!) but was using the same thing previously without problem. > > Lynne

It does appear to be another option that perhaps shouldn't be there ? Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 06-Apr-18 10:38 PM, Lin Duke wrote: > I've been asked about downloading list archives.  They download as > gzipped format for Mbox. > > Can anyone enlighten me? > > Lin

I've been asked about downloading list archives.  They download as gzipped format for Mbox. Can anyone enlighten me? Lin

I'm using rotten web mail (don't ask!) but was using the same thing previously without problem.

Anne, When you get to this, if the CAVE surname list has no owner, I would like to adopt it. It is not on the adoptable list, bu it could be dead. Marleen Van Horne

I am seeing multiple footers on the Digests. I don't think we want that to happen. Also, the footer is just too big. We have to find a smaller way to convey the same information. Would it be possible to have key words that link to the appropriate associated text, for example: YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS EMAIL BECAUSE YOU HAVE REGISTERED WITH ROOTSWEB MAILING LISTS: Select appropriate link: MANAGE PREFERENCES UNSUBSCRIBE ARCHIVES PRIVACY STATEMENT FUNDING Marleen Van Horne

It is a reasonable thing to remove actually. The only real use I can think of is if we combined a list.

Thank you Anne, I appreciate the quick response and explanation. Now that I know what it is, I do not see where I will use it in any real way, but you never know what the future will bring. As for the security cautions, this old retired (35 years ago) Marine understands security concerns all too well and will keep them in mind. Thank you again. David E.
