To E. W. Wallace, et alia: I know what you mean about Rootsweb. I think the idea is they will not let you send an attachment or send an Internet page on Rootsweb. Therefore, you have to convert the message to a text document and copy it into the message, using Notepad or Wordpad, etc. I believe this is to avoid viruses, spams, etc. It is an inconvenience, but Rootsweb messages are very reliable as far as not receiving unwanted items in your e-mail. I have started using a program called, "MailWasher," which prescreens e-mail, and that has helped me tremendously in bouncing spam and viruses.
