Dear list,
As you may know, during December the message boards were changed to a
new format. One of the changes which effects our list concerns the
gatewayed posts (the copy of posts made on the board which are sent
to the list). We will no longer see the return e-mail address of the
author of that post. Instead, all posts will be from
gc-gateway(a)rootsweb.com
One of the reasons is a privacy issue: many board posters do not
realize their message will be sent via email to a mailing list and
archived. To comply with their own privacy policies, RootsWeb will
no longer be disclosing the email addresses of posters outside of the
place they expect it to be (when person posts on the board, he/she
expects the address to be revealed on the board - not on a mailing
list or archive).
As always, the gatewayed message will contain a link to the message
*on the board*. Since we cannot know if the poster is a list
subscriber, the best way to respond to the author is to use that link
and reply *on the board*.
If you have any questions, please contact me privately.
