I think so too...and I sort of doubt this is being reported to the ISP as being spam and, hence, possibly harming RootsWeb. It is more likely that it is just a cautionary warning to the subscriber as noted below. I don't know if adding the list address to the address book or whitelisting it would help since these (spam) subject lines usually come up in a reply and the original poster's address is most likely the one that raised the warning from the AV program or individual spam filters.

I'm almost positive I agree with you Joan, but I'm not familiar enough with Norton to say with any real certainty. I use McAfee Total Protection, and I had a similar problem myself until I finally disabled that feature because of the "false positives" (reporting "possible" spam) and completely eliminated the problem. My ISP has excellent and very efficient spam filters anyway, and they "whitelist" RW mail, so much as I like McAfee itself, shutting off its built-in spam protection cured the problem of false positives without losing any spam protection at all.
