Greetings, list subscribers: There are reports circulating that AOL subscribers who have upgraded to the latest release are having trouble sending messages to RootsWeb. The cause of the problem is that AOL "likes" to send e-mail in HTML format and RootsWeb will not accept formatted mail. This a protection against malicious programs (not exactly viruses but they have the same effect) that can be activated by viewing HTML e-mail. RootsWeb will accept only plain text (also known as ASCII text) messages. If one of you attempts to send a message to the list with HTML formatting, it will "bounce" to me as the list admin. I will then work with you off list to get the problem solved. Usually this means changing a setting in your e-mail client, but there are other ways to do it. Obviously there will be no ranting and raving (well, at least not on my part <grin>); this is just a potential technical glitch. So, dug up any dead ancestors lately? Hit any brick walls we can help each other with??
