[or-roots] Posts and attachments

[derek s m cusick]

G'day all,
I am puzzled by the comments in Para 2 of Leslies message
"............,though now that these are identified by sender rather than
roots list it isn't as easy.................."
I like all other listers have had far too many messages about this change,
but my messages still come in exactly the same style as before I am using
Outlook Express 6 and my messages come in with a column for " From" which
contains senders name in case of this Message it showed "Leslie Chapman"
then next column is headed'Subject' and showed "[or-roots]Posts and
Attachments"
Whilst there are other columns, I can from these two deduce who sent the
message and that it was  an or-roots list message.
So if I was really upset as some people are I can just delete the messages I
don't want.
I have not bothered to get my password , as I don't intend to use it.If I
ever want to leave the list ( Very Unlikely!) and Unsubscribe does not work
I'll simply put an IGNORE on all messages from Or-roots.
I really cannot understand why so many people are getting so het up.
Especially after letters before Xmas 2001 moaning about lack of messages.
My special wish:-
                              May every reader find at least two more family
members for Valentines day.

Regards to all and Happy Hunting
Derek
