I'm trying to cite an email with attachments. The attachments are identified by the sender. Am I on the right track with this? ​[Name of Sender], Via Ancestry Message Boards {senders email} To Kathie Fortner, Email with attachments, 14 Aug 2014, "Hannah Bellowes Fortner Obituary"; Attachments from "The St Thomas Evening Journal " 29 Aug 1908, 1 Sep 1908, Elgin County Gealogical Society, -- * Kathie Fortner* * <[email protected]>* *www.fortner.50megs.com <http://www.fortner.50megs.com>*

Kathie, I'm not sure how you contacted the person (via Ancestry message board) is material if you corresponded directly through email to get the document(s). I'd refer to the attachment directly as you normally would for that kind of document (newspaper if it's an obituary with identifying information). Then after the semi-colon, you'd refer to the avenue of receipt as being sent by email from the sender which would then cite the origin of the obituary as being the Elgin County Genealogical Society.
