[That's also why list messages are sent in plain text and not HTML.] However, RootsWeb does have message boards that accept image files and gedcom files. Here is the link to the Poland boards: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.poland/mb.ashx Here is a link to the historical areas of today's central Europe, if you prefer: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.ceeurope.histreg/mb.ashx --- Here are the instructions to upload image(s) to a RootsWeb message board: Since the link to post a new message to these boards can be a bit obscure if you don't speak board-ese <g>, click "Begin New Thread" just beneath the word title of the board (Unknown). If you're not a registered member (which is free and painless) or if you're not logged in under an existing account, you'll be taken to a login screen. Either create an account or login. You'll be taken to the "Post new thread to Unknown" screen, where you can type in your message. RootsWeb boards do not accept text, including URLs, enclosed by angle brackets (< > - any attempts to include them in messages results in an error screen with no further explanation), so be sure not to use them. To add an image or gedcom file to a message, click "Attach a file" just above the "Post" button. Click the Browse button to select the appropriate file on your computer. Up to five image/gedcom files can be attached to a single message. To post your message with the image(s) attached, click the "Post" button. Once you've posted the image on the message board, send this list the link to find it. Not only will you generate input from folks here on the list, but you'll likely get a "regular" on the board to throw in their two cents as well. A few of the regulars on the Poland boards are native Poles and a few others are fluent in Polish. -Marie
