Hi Marion It is annoying to not be able to identify where a message comes from. I use email rules to sort and move my messages in Outlook. Without an identifier in the subject this is very difficult. The identifier "[Clermont]" or "[Clermont-L]" should be placed at the beginning of the subject line. This is how it is done in every other Rootsweb mailing lists I subscribe to. When I wrote Rootsweb asking about this they informed me that the list owner would have to request this change.

I have to right click on the subject line, click on properties and click again on details to get this information. The following is a typical message. ****************************** Does someone have access to indexes for Birth Deaths, etc? I am looking for same regarding Willard Clare. The time frame would be 1880's or later maybe 1900?? Appreciate any info. Betty ****************************** Betty, not so obviously, sent this to the OHCLERMO list. Why does the computer delete this info from the subject line? My first inclination when I receive such a message is to delete it, which is not what Betty would like.
