Susan, You only had 107? I have 154 left to browse through tonight, if I really feel like it, and I cleaned up 89 last night. That is the fun of genealogy and the reason that Outlook Express has the view pane. Most of the time, my time restraints only allow me to read my email once a week, then it really piles up. Don't you just love it? Just go with the flow and browse the mail and worry about something more earth-shaking. Life is too short. My Lists can send me all the mail they want. I can either read it or not--my choice. By the way, I haven't even sent out what I'm researching yet. Cheers!!! Also, by the way, I picked your mail out of the middle of the pile because of the subject line. Again, Cheers!!!
