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
Do you have your own e-mail list of friends that you
sometimes send things you like to share?
Then please take time to consider protecting their
right to privacy.
E-mail makes it so easy to send someting to a lot
of peopel that if you had to do it by postal service
you wouldn't take the time or expend the cost of
postage.
But consider this. IF you had to do it by postal
service would you send everyone a list of all
the poeple you mailed the letter to? No way.
But that is exaclty what we do with a CC list.
Just a suggestion. Instead of using CC for your
distribution use BCC instead if your email program
has it.
BCC sends a copy to each person on your list without
showing everyone else on your distribution list.
This protects the privacy of your friends and prevents
their email address from being spread all over.
It also prevents folks from sending messages back to
your entire list.
Most people will not take the time to remove the header
information which includes the CC list. They forward
the message that gets forwarded and forwarded and all
those addresses eventually will end up on some spammers
list.
I'm sure you have received e-mails with multiple forwards
in which the header is many times longer than the message
itself.
That's why I don't forward anything or send anything that I
am not willing to take the time to "clean it up" and send a
fresh copy.
I don't know how this happens but once in great while
I get a message that Juno treats each forward as
a separate attachment. When I click on the attachment
there's another attachment and so on until I get to the
message. I do not click on the 2nd attachment anymore,
I hit delete. But, again, thankfully this situation doesn't
happen very often. Using BCC will prevent this from
happening.
Juno doesn't have a BCC so if I forward something I don't even
use a CC list. Everyone gets their own copy. I don't have a long
list of people so that's not as laborious as it might sound.
If your email client doesn't support BCC then another solution
is to create your own mailing list(s) at any number of free
web sites.
If you are on someone elses personal e-mail list you may want
to send this to them.
