This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/igC.2ACE/1398 Message Board Post: You've got a FRIEND in genealogy! --------------------------------------------------------- DearMYRTLE's Daily Genealogy Column Unsubscribing Challenge FROM: The [DearMYRTLE] newsletter is coming to my dial up address: . DearSHARON, THANK-YOU for trying to resolve the unsubscribe from your old e-mail address using the normal unsubscribe processes for the mailing lists administered by RootsWeb computer robots. See: http://www.DearMYRTLE.com/subscribe.htm --------------------------------------------------------- Here, one learns the process you tried to employ. Basically one may unsubscribe from the LIST MODE of DearMYRTLE by sending the single word UNSUBSCRIBE to One may unsubscribe from the DIGEST MODE of DearMYRTLE by sending the single word UNSUBSCRIBE to With tens of thousands of readers, subscribers & listeners, it would be physically impossible for me to handle all subscribe and unsubscribe requests manually. --------------------------------------------------------- If I understand your scenario correctly, for some reason you continue to receive DearMYRTLE columns at that old address . TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT, I completed an administrative search for (using copy/paste to eliminate a typo) and received the following response from the RootsWeb computer robot managing DearMYRTLE-L: Search Results These are the addresses on the DearMYRTLE mailing lists that match . [...] Nothing was found. --------------------------------------------------------- DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS --------------------------------------------------------- you continue to receive my column at the old, little used e-mail? There is ANOTHER possibility. Sharon, perhaps you visited DearMYRTLE's Message Board http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=admin.message&r=rw&p=topics.methods.dearmyrtle&m=1397 and clicked to be added to the NOTIFY list? This is the only other way I can imagine that your old e-mail box to continue to receive my column. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE'S HOW/WHY THIS MIGHT BE HAPPENING: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To avoid some of the AOL =20 line endings that have shown up for years in DIGEST mode of DearMYRTLE-L, I discovered that if I post the column to my message board, first, the column will automatically broadcast to in a perfect message format. To continue the process, my youngest daughter Carrie opens that e-mail (2,000 miles away) and creates a web page for the column, providing links to my main page. http://www.DearMYRTLE.com To my knowledge, I cannot remove you from the message board notify list, I can only delete or move postings. You'll need to go the Ancestry/RootsWeb message Boards yourself and do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE'S HOW TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE "NOTIFY LIST" OF AN ANCESTRY/ROOTSWEB MESSAGE BOARD: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to: http://boards.ancestry.com/ LOG IN if necessary, then click on MY NOTIFICATIONS. When your list of message boards show up, scroll down to the entry for DearMYRTLE's message board click REMOVE on the far right that line. Hopefully this will do the trick and cut down on the double postings. I can hardly blame you -- I could only take so much of my writing as well! Happy Family Tree Climbing!
