The following is a message I received from RootsWeb. I am resending my
message and hope it is the proper format.

"Hi --

The message you submitted to this list (included above) wasn't
sent to the list subscribers. RootsWeb accepts only plain text
mail. That means that HTML mail, attachments, ``enriched text'',
and a few other formats can't be sent to RootsWeb mailing lists.
You can post your message if you send it in plain text; turn off
the ``Post in HTML'' or ``Enriched Text'' features of your mail
reader, or don't use any attachments. See
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/listadmins/plaintext.html
for instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail
programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help.

We've had to institute this policy because of the problems that
accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail
programs that are capable of processing the special file formats.
Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these
special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages
pose special problems to our digested mailing lists. Most of all,
HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on
RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format
produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers,
so we find it's best just to use plain text.

This is what I extracted from www.encyclopedia.com


Naples, kingdom of

former state, occupying the Italian peninsula south of the former
Papal States. It comprised roughly the present regions of Campania , Abruzzi
, Molise , Basilicata , Apulia , and Calabria . Naples was the capital.
In the 11th and 12th cent. the Normans under Robert Guiscard and his
successors seized S Italy from the Byzantines. The popes, however, claimed
suzerainty over S Italy and were to play an important part in the history of
Naples. In 1139 Roger II , Guiscard's nephew, was invested by Innocent II
with the kingdom of Sicily , including the Norman lands in S Italy.


Looks like Jeff is right.

On the Italian Road Maps (The Touring Club Italiano), the Sud or South is
identified as Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria and Siclia. The Centro
or Center is Toscana, Umbria, Marche, Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise and Sardegna.
