I have seen several questions that were so interesting, even though not related to me in any way and was dissappointed that the answer has yet to be posted! And also you never know... The question may not pertain to your history or research, but the answer may surprise you. >> The main problem is the subject entered, if you put the actual subject in the subject line we will know if we want to read it or not. One list I am on "the Cook" list offers the following suggestions for subject lines: Subject: COOK, Henry Cook, 1771, Va (Family info, or seeking info) Subject: History: Francis Cook crossing on the Mayflower. Subject: CHAT, Merry xmas or The name of the Norman Hospital Subject: ANNOUNCEMENTS: New website This seems to work great, but it is the subject line that must tell what the e-mail is referring to. Just trying to help out with this discussion. Bill Cook
