Many lists are currently being migrated to the new RootsWeb list management software (all lists will eventually be on that software). If you have any problems, please let the individual list admin know. Simply substitute the real list name for "Listname" in the address below. Listname-admin@rootsweb.com There may be a temporary issue with some ISPs delaying or blocking mail as the whitelisting of the new server takes effect. Please check spam folders and if you should find list mail there be sure to click THIS IS NOT SPAM (AOL uses this method) or follow instructions for your own ISP. If in the course of the list transfer you discover that your subscription preferences have been changed, contact the appropriate list admin. If you wish to receive both list (individual) mail *and* digest it will be necessary to use different addresses. The software is unable to send two list formats to one address. Simply subscribe to the two formats using two different addresses. The new software prefers the subscribe or unsubscribe commands in the subject line. Subscription and unsubscription addresses currently remain: Listname-L-request@rootsweb.com Listname-D-request@rootsweb.com Thanks for your patience during the transfer. There should be no break in mailing list delivery. Elaine

I do not recommend subscribing to the mailing list mentioned in the Help Desk Notice UNLESS you like a LOT of mail. Elaine 1 MAIL LIST MIGRATION: 2006-08-14 RootsWeb mail lists will be moved to the new Mailman software starting Thursday, August 17. The lists will be moved in small groups, alphabetically. An email went out to inform list users of the change. If you have any questions, a list has been created list-update@rootsweb.com for discussion of the updates and answering questions during the transition. To subscribe to the list, send an email with the word “subscribe” in the subject line to: List-Update-request@rootsweb.com If you would like to subscribe to the list digest, please send an email with the word “subscribe” in the subject line to: List-Update-D-request@rootsweb.com
