Within the past few days, RootsWeb/Ancestry has upgraded their message board system. One of the upgrades affects message board posts copied to the corresponding mailing list (this is called messages being "gatewayed" to a mailing list). Since this list is gatewayed, we all need to be aware of how it affects this list. Messages coming through the gateway no longer show the address of the poster. They now show the gateway address, which is not a valid address for receiving mail (only valid for sending email). While it has always been the proper course of action to click the link in the gatewayed post and reply on the board, it was possible to reply directly to the author of the message via email. That is no longer possible. Please, remember to click on the link provided on gatewayed message board posts to reply on the message board. The folks who post messages on a message board may not be subscribed to the corresponding mailing list and likely will not see any responses to their messages unless posted to the board itself.
