Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hi there all
I am having alot of the list mail returned as the email address which some people on the list are using is full,
if this happens 3 times you are automatically removed from the list,and you miss out on that mail,So u you are having some trouble with your mail this could be what is happening,
it is very wise to use a seperate email address only for your genealogy research so you will get every email.
I can suppy you with your own email address for free for this I find it works very well the email can be checked via any computer on the net or can be set up as pop3 mail it has a larger email storage box than hotmail and works just like it too but you can have aname alot shorter too check it out at www.jhgreen.net free email page also this page has a help page for the list to so keep the address is you are needing help with the list too.
Cheers

Hi everybody
I just received the following information and feel sure that there would be others who were interested.
The news concerns the website http://census.pro.gov.uk/ The following is
a quote from the page -
"This Website is a pilot for the release of the whole of the 1901 Census
for England and Wales, which will be made available on the Internet from
the first working day of 2002. This pilot consists of the digitised returns
for the county of Norfolk from the 1891 Census. The Census reveals who was
living at a particular address in each city, town and village on census
night (5th April 1891)."

Hello List Members,
A note to all MSN subscribers. If you have a HOTMAIL account (and
maybe you have one you don't know about) and if your Hotmail mailbox is
full, your MSN mail will bounce. Pretty hard to figure out! For Example:
Hotmail
mailbox fills up all by itself with amazing junk mail that you didn't ask
for, wasn't expecting. This will cause problems with your mail.
This also can happen with Yahoo, Excite, Alta Vista etc
Also if you want a more personal email address with junk mail and a larger storge
Check out the Free Email Accounts
I offer on my Home Page at www.jhgreen.net you can choose from Past ; Mailaus
;Greenau; Twba ; Tenpin or Steamtrain Mail it's all free these can be setup as pop mail on
your outlook express or checked from any computer at anytime, and no extra juck mail.
Every so often one of the ISP's has problems and mail will bounce.
Sometimes the servers 'time out' or the message can't be delivered for xx
number of days or some other useless message pops up like the 'process is
busy with another task'.
All any of that means is that you don't get your mail and your mail
'bounces'. The mailing lists are set up to automatically 'unsub' a
subscriber after
3 bounces.
If you stop getting mail from one of the lists, you can post a message to
the list, and you can check the archives to see if there are posted
messages you have not gotten.
If you get the message that you have been 'unsubscribed' and you didn't
want to be, just send an email to the
'request' address with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and in the
message area and you will be added back to the list.
One more thing -
DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS.
Rootsweb doesn't send attachments.
There are known Spammers out there who knowingly attach viruses to thier
spam.
DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS
NO ONE on Rootsweb lists is sending viruses out on purpose.
Don't be so quick to point fingers. If you tried to click on one of
these attachments, you are just as guilty as the person you got it from -
that's all they did!
Keep your virus software current - check every day or so for new virus
files and DON'T OPEN ATTACHMENTS!!!!!!
Thanks for your patience. This message does not need to be discussed on the
lists. Take them to private emails.
Cheers
