As I started this thread having read 10's of messages on the Guild of One-name studies list on this subject I am now even more confused as it might depend on the message processing within rootsweb what content is included in the From and Reply To fields in the header of the message. Or rootsweb have changed the processing back - on the 12th a message from Jeanne via the list , if I used Reply it would only have gone to Jeanne, if I used Reply all it still only went to Jeanne - so to reply to the list I would have needed to add sog-uk@rootsweb.org A quick test with recent messages appears to mean that it now works like before except the original sender (and responders to a message thread?) may get more than 1copy). Sorry for any confusion caused by the initial main (and perhaps the some list members not being aware that I am not longer involved in SoG IT) Suggest this thread is closed pending further addressing issues.

At present we see in the From Column that it has come from the Society, assume it's from the Webmaster and that they are doing a Test, so maybe some members are not reading these messages believing they are of no concern to them, don't affect them. The most annoying thing about this change of Rootsweb is that you cannot see the name of the individual who has sent the message unless you open it and scroll to the end to find their signature!
