The good people from RootsWeb say that they are in the final test stages of implementing the new filters at Rootsweb.
> From Tim Pierce:
"Just to let you know, we're in the final stages of testing a SmartList hack that blocks file attachments (including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings.
This note is to let you know how it works. When a poster sends something to a mailing list written in HTML, or with an attached file, the list server will send the poster's message back to them, with a note at the bottom explaining the plain-text requirement at RootsWeb."
Here is the address of the site that will give you instructions for turning the html or styled text off in various email programs. Please do not wait until this is implemented to change your programs.
How to Disable the HTML email feature
Also PLEASE do not forward this on to other lists! Let the listowners notify their own lists, in their own way and in their own time. Thanks for your cooperation.
If anyone has any questions about this new procedure, please email me directly and not the list.
Thanks again..
Michael Witherspoon
ListOwner
