Excellent researching Louise. It makes sense that people post obits on the obit lists and those interested in them would subscribe to any or all of those lists. Then people only interested in research subscribe to this list and their mailboxes don't get overloaded. I get so much email I have 2 different addresses, 1 for genealogy and 1 for everything else. It sounds like some people do not have the situation with an email address like yahoo or hotmail where you have limited space and when it is full it rejects your mail and you do not get it. And Ellen, you can't unsubscribe, You are a Moss and I know as soon as I can get to this I am going to have some questions or sharing for you.
