Late yesterday afternoon messages from as long ago as the first of the year started showing up on RootsWeb mailing lists. For several months there have been problems with board posts not getting through the gateway to their corresponding lists, and it appears many of these messages represent the gateway beginning to work again. Some of them, however, appear to be new messages that somehow got spooled onto a mail queue but for some reason were never delivered. Although it's a bit confusing, you can identify these messages because they retain their original dates. If you receive My Notifications for board postings, you may see old messages show up there, too. That's all we know right now, but I suspect/hope the plethora of messages will end fairly soon. This isn't a subject relevant to our list purpose, so if you have questions, please don't respond to the list -- email me personally at bjohnsto@oregonvos.net . Thanks for your understanding, Beth Perry Johnston List Admin
