Marilyn- First off you should NEVER EVER delete a list message that is spam from your spam folder or label it as spam to your ISP...it can end up having you unsubbed from the list you reported. Some major ISPs send a spam long of reports to RootsWeb and RootsWeb immediately unsubs the person who reported list mail as spam. To have the spam removed from the list archives first copy the URLs where you find the spam emails in the archives and then paste them into the removal form here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/remove Next let the HelpDesk know that they need to complete the removal process for the ones you initiated.

I have already completely deleted that the email from my own mailbox/spam box/deleted messages files, so can’t forward it with all headers/footers to the Help Desk. Can anyone tell me if there is another way to remove that message? Obviously I don’t want to use the Archive Removal Tool as it will trigger a message to the spammer! Thanks, Marilyn
