Hello All, Thanks to so many who took the time to respond to my query regarding lack of mailing list(s) activity. I was fairly certain that my mailbox server was up and running as normal and that I was still subscribed as intended. But the virtual slow down, standstill in the case of some lists, still came as a surprise despite the recent turn of world events. I too, have been distracted by the news reports and feel it would be totally unrealistic to expect otherwise. Please accept my query as it was intended, just an observation or more accurately a query asking for reassurance that everything in fact was indeed "normal" as regards my e-mail delivery system. Luck to All with ALL your searches. Bette in colorful Wisconsin [email protected]
