Elizabeth & all-- Re the missing messages, I haven't noticed that on my Digest. I sometimes find that one message is put near the top & the first message query is near middle or bottom. What I have been noticing, however, is double & triple original messages & the answers. In 2 days, I will see all the messages 2-3 times as original posts--not copies of (there are many of the forwarding copys too). Yesterday, one message was on a list twice & one the previous digest one time. At this rate, the Archives will be packed with something that is not new information. This is happening on all & only on RootsWeb lists. Must be a problem of theirs. Elizabeth, have you heard anything about others having this problem. Would it be appropriate for you to check with RW to see what's up?? Donna in CA
