From Merryl Wells of Luton, Beds. E-Mail: merryl.wells@one-name.org GOONS Mem. No. 1757 Reg. ONS: Bawtree; Gullick/ock, Moist/Moyst. In reply to Malcolm: The Society and other Family History Lists' Webmasters who use Rootsweb for their messages should let Rootsweb know their members are not happy about the changes. The Guild of One Name Studies have at least suggested to their Forum members that they put their signatures at the beginning of their messages so the reader doesn't have to hunt around to discover who the writer is, email address so if you wish to reply you can make sure it is included, and perhaps their surnames of interest. >From Merryl. ----- Original Message ----- From: <sog-uk@rootsweb.com> To: <sog-uk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 6:34 PM Subject: Re: [SOG-UK] Testing > On Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:16:45 +0100, <sog-uk@rootsweb.com> wrote: > Rootsweb is based (with many changes of their own) on Mailman but Mailman > itself has had at least 10 'significant' updates since the rootsweb > version was set up.

I'm using gmail, Chrome browser, and MacBook/OS 10.6.8. Clicking "Reply" would get my message to Merryl and Sog-uk: clicking "reply all" would get the message to both of them plus Malcolm. Could different browsers and/or email programs also affect the settings at Rootsweb?
