your settings can do just that. make a folder, for each group. make a filter for the group to the folder make a filter to send a message * in the TO* line as you sent it TO the group to the folder. I am using OE 6 to pop gmail, it works great, been doing it since g mail started, but I do not, have g mail pop setting set up only to allow pop, but I set the OE to download g mail with out loging in at all and I get it just like OE always works with all filters and folder options working and gmail filters spam great. Once you have gmail to OE< thunderbird or what ever you prefer, just make the filter to send your reply to the folder, then its all there. Just some simple tweaking. If you want the gmail settings they are on the gmail help site. pop.gmail.com smtp.gmail.com and use the settings for the rest if you get lost let me know I can send screen shots. The self contained disappears in OE separates each reply.

No. I use gmail since it was started. ---> But using gmail on phones can be tricky deleting. Its simpler to start a new message and put a part quote of what you reply to rather than just reply to the existing message. This reply is sent to my OE from my gmail and I have all the same editing as any other message this way, the ones sent to my Samsung can be edited by holding the finger in the message till the arrow shows and scroll it to remove or copy the highlighted text. Gmail in web mail is easy to edit almost like pop mail. Some times in some cases, its just simpler to make the new reply and quote your part your following. So its what I do is just ask folks to make a new message and quote the topic in reference.

Caroline, I think I'm confused, and as a result of my reply you probably are as well, but I thought you were asking how to request to be Admin of another list but maybe not. If you are trying to access the tools page for a list that you already administer, then Dan's and Joan's suggestions should get you there, though by somewhat different means. David E.

Click the links in moderator requests. Save them to the folder for your lists in your favorites then you will have them all in one place.

They're getting smarter. I just had <Content-Type@lists3.rootsweb.com> try to subscribe to one of my lists. Good thing I have all my lists set to require approval for all subscriptions. Gene

You can't do it yourself, Linne, but if you're the admin of both the board and the list, write to messageboards@rootsweb.com to request that the board and list be gatewayed. If you're not the admin of both, you'll need to have the written consent of the other admin and pass it along with your request.

Can someone tell me how to connect the RootsWeb surname list with the RootsWeb board? I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Linne Bowles Gravestock

AdAware anti-virus software inserts the [SUSPECTED SPAM] subject heading in spam/virus e-mails. I've had half a dozen this morning alone. I've set my e-mail program to automatically send these messages to my junk/to be deleted folder. 99% of the time the program was right! If it truly annoys you you can set your e-mail program to "do not download and delete from server" spam messages with common phrases, then you will never see the stuff. Nelson Denton

simple her security setting is too high, or its set to examine the content. could check those for a thought. Also some ISP sample content too. I have a same experience on my yahoo group a cousin is always getting the same insert. Turned out to be her server was blacklisted , they changed address and it stopped.

Thanks Joan Y, Yes this is my question. I began new mailing lists for Romania which I admin, and I would like to know if I can add a link on the MailList pages to the Romania GenWeb page which I also coordinate? I'm not sure if this is still being done with the passing of John Fuller? I really miss Rootsweb Review, BTW. It always published new lists and sites -- I will use the mailist address given here. Thanks a bunch. Joan Asche On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 11:12 AM, <JYoung6180@aol.com> wrote: > I think she means the MailList page which I believe Pig still does.
