    1. [ROOTS-L] Heads Up ... Some changes coming in how to respond to ROOTS-L messages
    2. Morning, all! I'm not sure if the changes have arrived for this list, or quite what they'll look like (don't have any messages in my inbox from the list this morning), but ... due to changes that ISPs have been implementing to reduce spam, it has become important that messages FROM RootsWeb say they're from RootsWeb, rather than from the person who sent the message to the mailing list. So if all the messages are "From: [email protected]", then how are you to tell which are from me ([email protected]) and which are from someone else, etc.? I don't know ... perhaps the original sender will be in the Reply-To line, or in the Sender line, or elsewhere ... or nowhere! We'll have to watch and see. Meanwhile, let me recommend two good habits to use in general, but especially here and now. ;-) 1. When you hit "reply" ... check to see WHO you're replying to and if that's who you had in mind. (For the who/whom crowd, what I just wrote makes me wince but I'm gonna let it be.) 2. Include who you are and your e-mail address at the end of your message (and whack off ANYTHING else ... it's a mailing list, everyone saw the earlier message, you just annoy the people in digest mode by endlessly repeating it).
