Subject: [HWE] Problems receiving list messages
Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 01:09:43 -0800

Hi, everyone --
Sorry for my delay in replying to messages (both on and off list) these
days. I seem to have ground to a much-needed screeching halt for a while,
after a very busy holiday (and a horrible cold, plus innumerable DIY
projects around the house, in the weeks leading up to it).

The following is a further response to concerns expressed by Karen (30
Dec) about not receiving list messages. I am replying on the list, as well
as sending her a copy privately, in case others are wondering as well. My
apologies for being off-topic but I think this issue is one which others may
also be concerned about. However, if it doesn't interest you at all, please
delete this message now <g>.

Karen, I am at a loss to explain why you have received no messages
posted to H-W-E since 23 Dec. I have access to a listing of e-mail addresses
for all subscribers and can confirm that you are subscribed to the list as
usual at this time and have been so all along. I am automatically informed
by Rootsweb whenever anyone subscribes or unsubscribes. I received no
notification that you were unsubscribed at any time (although I did see your
request to be re-subscribed).
As well, the fact that you have successfully posted messages twice
over the last few days also indicates that you are indeed a subscriber
(Rootsweb only accepts messages from subscribers, and rejects ones which are
not from subscribers.)
However, I notice that you are subscribed in digest mode, which means
you may not be receiving your digest package of messages as frequently as
usual, due to the fact that only a few have been posted to the list for most
of the last week or so.

Is there a possibility that there is a problem with your server (AOL)
which is not delivering messages to you? If so, you might make inquiries to
them about this. On the other hand, if there is a difficulty such as this,
with Rootsweb being unable to deliver messages to a subscriber (for any
reason), I am routinely informed by Rootsweb about it and I have had no such
notification.

I hope this problem is now cleared up for Karen and for anyone else
experiencing the same situation. If it is not or if similar difficulties
arise in future, I would appreciate being notified privately, off-list, so
that we can keep to Huguenot/Walloon topics on the list.

My best to you all on this last day of December in the year 2000. Andrea
