Sorry to use the list for this ....but there isn't any other way to send this! As list admin, I get all bounced mail. Lately there has been quite a bit of it....both list bounces and at the address I use for genealogy[ bettyt@lycos.com ]. If you have emailed me at the above address or bettyt@lycos.com and haven't gotten an answer...it is because my reply to you bounced back bounced back to me. There are many reasons for bounces...here are some: 1. You changed your address but didn't unsub the old address and resub the new.[ for list] 2. Your ISP is down for any number of reasons 3. Your 'reply to:' address is incorrect. [usually a typo] 4. Your spam filters are set to block ALL mail or all mail from a certain domain[ ie: lycos, aol, msn, etc.] 5. Your mail box is full. Sooo.....time to check all your mail settings, empty your trash, and check all your filters....and while you are at it check all the places on the internet [especially message boards] that you have OLD addresses lingering...post a new message with your correct email address. You can't get mail using a dead address!!!
