The Colleton County genealogy mailing list is hosted
by RootsWeb
Genealogical Cooperative. There are subscribers from all over the
country and other parts of the world. It is just another way of
sharing
information and making contacts.
You can search list messages,
archived
by month and year, by going to this address. You'll need to
create
a password for yourself, but there is no charge for using this feature.

You can search all list messages by going here and typing in
SCBAMBER-L
.

You have two options. If you subscribe to the
List "L" mode,
you will receive an individual e-mail message for every post to the
list.
A benefit in the list mode is that you can save individual list
messages
that are of importance to you.
If you subscribe to the Digest "D"mode, you'll receive the
list messages
at the end of the day as one e-mail. To save an individual
message,
you have to cut and paste, but it does cut down on mail.
You can always change your subscription by unsubscribing to
one mode
and subscribing to the other.
Please Note: Your messages
will be
archived and are available for viewing by the general public. I
am not the list administrator, but list administrator does not
have the ability to remove your message after it is posted, so be
careful
not to publish any personal information on the list, such as your
mailing
address and phone number. Likewise, be careful not to post
copyrighted
material unless you have written consent from the copyright holder.
The RootsWeb list
filters will not
accept the following:
*HTML coding. If you cut
and paste
from a web page, or if you have a fancy page design or font, it
will
not be forwarded to the list.
*Attachments. Some
mailing lists
accept attachments, but RootsWeb's lists do not. If you attempt
to
send a list message with a text, html, or image file attached, your
message
will not be forwarded to the list.
* Spam. Advertisements
sent in bulk will be detected as spam and will not be forwarded.
*Viruses.
Viruses
will be detected and will not be forwarded to the list.
TO SUBSCRIBE:
Before subscribing, be sure to turn off any signature file you
may have in your e-mail preferences. Your preference should be
set
on plain text. Please don't include any message, other than the
automatic
"subscribe" message that will appear, as the RootsWeb computer will not
recognize it as a request. Just click on the option you prefer
and
hit "send." The computer will do the rest!
AOL USERS:
You need to send your message to:
SCBAMBER-L-request@rootsweb.com.
In the BODY of the message, enter only the
word:
subscribe
Hit "SEND".
(IT'S OK TO PUT IT IN THE SUBJECT
LINE, BUT YOU
MUST PUT IT IN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE, TOO)
You should receive a welcome message from the list.
After that,
you can start posting to the list! Welcome!
If you change e-mail addresses in the future, it's
good to unsubscribe
from all your mailing list subscriptions PRIOR TO the change.
However,
if your old mailbox is disabled, bounced messages to that address will
cause your old addresss to be unsubscribed. You need to
resubscribe
with your new address (the list administrator will not do manual
subscribes).
If your surnames are registered with your old e-mail address, please be
sure to notify me of the change.
