The following message was NOT passed on to the group by ROOTSWEB because they do not handle HTML or Enriched text posts. I'm sending the message along, but pmartin@horizon.hit.net, you need to turn off the HTML option on your e-mail. Sorry, not my rules but here is what ROOTSWEB says is their reason. Your post to the list follows below it. Terry Littleton (listdad) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The message submitted to this list (included above) wasn't sent to the list subscribers. RootsWeb accepts only plain text mail. That means that HTML mail, attachments, ``enriched text'', and a few other formats can't be sent to RootsWeb mailing lists. You can post your message if you send it in plain text; turn off the ``Post in HTML'' or ``Enriched Text'' features of your mail reader, or don't use any attachments. See http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm for instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help. We've had to institute this policy because of the problems that accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail programs that are capable of processing the special file formats. Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages pose special problems to our digested mailing lists. Most of all, HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers, so we find it's best just to use plain text. -- The RootsWeb staff > I am seeking the parents of John B.
