Thank you Pam. Something else I have noticed different about this list. -- On other Rootsweb lists, you have the option to hit "reply to all" which goes to the List as well as to the sender, in which case I usually delete off the personal e-mail of the sender because obviously they will get the same message twice from me if I left it on there. But, if you hit "reply to sender" it should just go to the sender of the message only-- not to the list. I notice that function has been taken off the Bell County list. (In other words, whichever option I choose, it goes directly to the list.) This is alot of trouble to contact a person directly, since you cannot use reply mode. Most of the time, putting something on the List is fine, but there are times (like doing a specific lookup for someone) when the personal e-mail is needed. A great example is that I notice Pam is from Orange County. I may have something to say to her directly about Orange County, but it doesn't belong on the list. I have to copy/paste her e-mail address or add her to my address book with no reply-mode working. ~ Cami ~ Pam Pugh wrote: > I agree with the response below.
