Hello everyone, many of you recently received a personal email from me if you had an AOL email address. There is a new mailing list that has been created at Rootsweb.com specifically for AOL subscribers. This new list will help those of us that are not very computer savvy with others that know everything and then some. If you have any questions about the new list, then please contact Joan Young, the admin for the list. Her email address is at the bottom of this email. Enjoy Carol Gabriel List Admin Forwarded with permission of the poster - Joan Young, administrator AOLers-RootsWeb-L is a new RootsWeb mailing list dedicated to assisting those who use the sometimes non-standard AOL e-mail system and who also subscribe to and/or admin RootsWeb mailing lists. For those who subscribe to RootsWeb mailing lists using AOL, and/or who admin RootsWeb mailing lists (whether or NOT you use AOL as our e-mail program) it helps to know how to: 1) send mail to RootsWeb lists from AOL and have it come through in plain text (not be rejected), 2) process RootsWeb list mail on the receiving end at AOL so that it is not considered spam by AOL leading to blocks placed on the RootsWeb list servers causing non-receipt of list mail, 3) identify list admin spam mail in AOL inboxes or spam folders and to learn how to deal with it in a manner that doesn't result in AOL thinking RootsWeb is responsible for the spam (for AOL subscriber RootsWeb list admins), 4) answer the questions and address the problems encountered by list members who use AOL for RootsWeb list mail (primarily for NON-AOL subscriber RootsWeb list admins). The list is a place for discussion of any problems and issues related to AOL e-mail usage involving RootsWeb lists in order to remove this type of subject matter from the RootsWeb genealogy lists where it is generally considered to be off-topic. Hopefully, misinformation, rumors, false accusations directed at either RootsWeb or AOL can be eliminated through the proper use of this forum. To subscribe to AOLers-RootsWeb-L send a new e-mail to: [email protected] and put only the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject and message body. Send the request to [email protected] instead for digest mode. Joan Young, administrator [email protected]
