In the letter, it starts "Dear RootsWeb mailing list subscriber,"
So I gather the note was meant for all.
This appears to be about all we need to do to help our subscribers:
The "-L" is being dropped from the "official" list name. This means
the
: > "from" address your mailing list emails come from will be slightly
: > different- ListName(a)rootsweb.com vs. the current
: > ListName-L(a)rootsweb.com. You may have to adjust your spam filters or
: > put the new address on your "accept" list to prevent it from being
: > caught in your "junk" folder.

: Do we know that the message did not go to every mail list subscriber? I
got it and didnt think I was a list admin but after a little thought I do
have one GAGENWEB-L. I think its more for list Admin's than the subscriber.
But being it says something about email spam filters it may be a good idea
to let your list know.

: > Dear RootsWeb mailing list subscriber,

: > We are excited to announce that in the coming weeks, the
RootsWeb.com
: > mailing lists will be moving to a new list management system.
: >
: > Why?
: > The new list management system offers updated technology, better spam
control, and more efficient hosting of the lists.
: >
: > When?
: > All the lists won't be updated all at once. In fact, once we start it
will take us about two weeks to complete the process. We've posted the
additional details about the update and a current update schedule at the
link below.
: >
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html

: > This page can also be found by following the link found on
: >
http://lists.rootsweb.com. If there are any changes to the schedule,
: > we'll update this page to let you know.
: >
: > How will it Affect You?
: > Your current subscription(s) will automatically transfer to the new
: > system so there will be no need to re-subscribe to your list(s),
: > however, because the sending and receiving of list email will be handled
: > by a new system, you may notice a few changes to your list(s).

: > Digest subscribers will notice a small difference in the layout, volume

: >
: > Here's why:
: > - You will still be able to send messages to the list using the

: > The tools that list administrators use to manage their list will also be
