Hi Everyone, The list is now set to reply to list instead of reply to sender. All you have to do is hit reply instead of reply to all, a little bit easier to do and remember. Messages will go back to the list - this way everyone gets to see the messages. Sometimes we get to learn new things, sometimes we will find someone that ties into our family that we hadn't thought about or known about until someone replies back. Plus the fact new people are joining lists every day or browsing the archives - if the information isn't there they lose out, this list is for sharing. Roll Call - we will do a roll call every once in awhile - when the list has been unusually quiet, that is what I will do to pick it up again. From this roll call alone, several have found some links they have been looking for, there are a couple of people that I have yet to reply to, but when I find the time, I most certainly will. Digest vs. Regular mail - I have never used digest, so am unfamiliar with how it works, I have asked the question regarding MIME, as it is not an option that I can find in my administrations tool utility. When I get an answer and if it is available I will let you know. You cannot be subscribed to both regular mail and digest mail with the same email address, this is causing some problems, some subscribers on this list are subscribed this way, if this is you, please unsubscribe from one of the mail versions and set up another address for that version, or just have one subscription. I have also learned that some may be receiving two emails of each posting in addition to their own post. This is caused by some people using the email address NYDELAWA-L@rootsweb.com If you are using this, you should delete it from your address book, the new address for the list is nydelawa@rootsweb com. Being that these are two different addresses, they will generate 2 emails. My hope for this list is that it will become a fairly active list, will it continue to the extent that it has in the last week, no, only when something happens to spark and interest will it be that way. If anyone has any further complaints please email me off list. If you wish to unsubscribe please follow the directions that are at the bottom of this message. Thank You, Rene' List Adminstrator

Ok, now I know a little bit more about MIME, it will work as Gary says BUT if you have AOL forget it. AOL doesn't read MIME, the pages will be blank. There might be a couple of other ISP's with the same problem, but no one mentioned names, only that it is a possibitlity. If wish to change to Digest mode from L mode, you can do so by first sending a new email to UNSUB from the list by writing to NYDELAWA-request@rootsweb.com Next send a new email to NYDELAWA-D-request@rootsweb.com to subscribe in Digest mode with the word subscribe in the subject and message body. Thanks everyone, now lets get back to research, Rene' -------Original Message------- From: Rene' Date: 10/22/2006 9:05:47 AM To: nydelawa@rootsweb.com Subject: [NYDELAWA] List Administrators Message Hi Everyone, The list is now set to reply to list instead of reply to sender.

Rene, Here is what another administrator sent me about MIME: "If it's a Rootsweb list, tell the admin to look at the subscriber list and find your address (it's indexed by first letter of the address). That's where I could set you to Mime." There is also apparently a way to set the list default to MIME but that doesn't seem to work.
