AOLers-RootsWeb-L is a new RootsWeb mailing list dedicated to
assisting those who use the sometimes non-standard AOL e-mail system and
who also
subscribe to and/or admin RootsWeb mailing lists.
For those who subscribe to RootsWeb mailing lists using AOL, and/or who
admin RootsWeb mailing lists (whether or NOT you use AOL as our e-mail
program) it helps to know how to:
1) send mail to RootsWeb lists from AOL and have it come through in plain
text (not be rejected),
2) process RootsWeb list mail on the receiving end at AOL so that it is not
considered spam by AOL leading to blocks placed on the RootsWeb list servers
causing non-receipt of list mail,
3) identify list admin spam mail in AOL inboxes or spam folders and to learn
how to deal with it in a manner that doesn't result in AOL thinking RootsWeb
is responsible for the spam (for AOL subscriber RootsWeb list admins),
4) answer the questions and address the problems encountered by list members
who use AOL for RootsWeb list mail (primarily for NON-AOL subscriber RootsWeb
list admins).
The list is a place for discussion of any problems and issues related to AOL
e-mail usage involving RootsWeb lists in order to remove this type of subject
matter from the RootsWeb genealogy lists where it is generally considered to
be off-topic. Hopefully, misinformation, rumors, false accusations
directed at
either RootsWeb or AOL can be eliminated through the proper use of this
forum.
To subscribe to AOLers-RootsWeb-L send a new e-mail to:
AOLers-RootsWeb-L-request(a)rootsweb.com and put only the word SUBSCRIBE in
the subject and message body. Send the request to
AOLers-RootsWeb-D-request(a)rootsweb.com instead for digest mode.
