If I remember correctly, they come in, in bundled up message, then you double click that to open up the message, and all the messages should then come up, which you double click to open. But then again, I am not sure to be honest. Can someone help Mary and me? Thank you. Cathy pastseeker@nc.rr.com >> I'm not on a rootsweb digest list but what happens on others is that the digest collects single messages into one long message and sends it out on a time basis (once a day) or on a quantity basis (after 15 messages are collected). You don't need to click on anything else after you click on the digest message. Sometimes, if the digest is a LOOOOONG one, part of the message will be displayed and the rest will be an attachment which will need to be opened. This is particularly the case with AOL. If Mary is getting only the titles, I'd guess that there is some problem with the way rootsweb is accumulating the messages before sending them to her. Sometimes digest messages come with a lot of advertisements and junk stuff. Be sure to go down to the middle of the message before deciding that it is only header stuff. Mary, NCMontgo-L is not that busy right now and even when it is, the messages aren't long. I'd consider subscribing to the list. I'm sending my message directly to Mary on the chance that she isn't getting the actual messages. Cynthia McDaniel
