Please note that all messages sent to the list needs to be in plain text format. RootsWeb accepts only plain text mail. That means that HTML mail, attachments, ``enriched text'', and a few other formats can't be sent to RootsWeb mailing lists. You can post your message if you send it in plain text; turn off the ``Post in HTML'' or ``Enriched Text'' features of your mail reader, or don't use any attachments. See http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm for instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help. RootsWeb had to institute this policy because of the problems that accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail programs that are capable of processing the special file formats. Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages pose special problems to the digested mailing lists. Most of all, HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers, so they find it's best just to use plain text. Now, I know some of you are thinking well I send mine and it works. Yes, this may be true because RootsWeb put in a filter that changes most of them but it doesn't work on all so if it doesn't you'll get a message back saying it wasn't sent to the list. Usually when I get this notice the mail is in such gibberish by that point I DON'T forward it on to the list. Thanks, Dana List Administrator © D. G.
