Marie i think you are trying to send the information by replying to the emails from rootsweb directly. If you are sending information to Joe - you should use your mouse on your computer highlight his email address and paste it to a email that you compose. Then you can attach the information and he should receive it directly. Or, you could have done the same thing I did - forgetting the underscore in joe's email. joecop_2000@yahoo.com - I hope you find out whats going on! Good Luck! Thanks. Brenda
