    3. Hi all The address under which you are subscribed to a particular RootsWeb list, now appears (or will appear as it's a progressive update) in the footer that is automatically appended to each message by the MailMan software. Yes, it should be happening for everyone on this list, but rest assured only you see your email address. The main reason for this change is to assist with the RootsWeb lists being "white listed" with a group of ISPs that insist on blacklisting RootsWeb every time a server is changed/upgraded. It also acts as an aid for those who use one address to subscribe, and then have their mail forwarded to another. There are now no excuses <VBG> for using the wrong address to post or unsubscribe any more !!! And finally, please remember when replying to the list, that you should ALWAYS delete the footer as well as other text not relevant to your reply. Otherwise, yes, your e-mail address will appear above the new automatic footer. If everyone were to forget to carry out what is in fact a simple act of Netiquet, there would be chaos. Submitted examples of triple footers earlier in this thread should be enough reminder of what not to do. FWIW the consensus on the List-Admins List is that RootsWeb have added/ are adding the e-mail address as a multi purpose aid, and that it's a good idea - as always there are some who disagree - hey admin's are human too ;-) regards Peter NOT the ARGYLL list admin, although I did start it (the ARGYLL list). still ButeshireGenWeb Admin > Very Big SNIP
