Hi Deb, You are responding to a gatewayed post from the message board for Culpeper Co. at Rootsweb. The person who posted the message to that board may not be a subscriber to this mail list and if they are not, they will not see your response. In order to respond to a gatewayed message so the author of the message sees the response, click on the link in the message. It will take you to the posted message on the board. You can reply there. Then, not only will the original author get your response, your reply will also be gatewayed to the list. Not all message boards at Rootsweb have the automatic gateway function set up, but many do and there is a statement on the board if they do. My understanding is that is up to the administrator of the mail list that corresponds with the board (location or surname) as to whether or not to allow gatewayed messages containing the board posting.
