SCRoots EMAIL SERVICES
1. [email protected] and [email protected]

Cooperative.  These services are restricted to text only discussion and sharing
of information regarding South Carolina genealogy.  You must be a subscriber to
participate. Instructions will be provided when you subscribe. To subscribe send
the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) as the only text in the body of a

Rootsweb is where SCRoots began and we expect to stay here.  But, we are limited
in the number and type of mailing lists that we can operate at Rootsweb.  For
this reason, and to avoid depending completely on Rootsweb (even the best go
down at times), SCRoots has opened the additional services shown below. 

2. [email protected]
Some folks have problems with long messages.  They want only short messages and
cringe when long transcribed texts arrive in their inbox.  To try and provide
meet the special needs of these SCRooters we have created this "Lite" version of
our email services.  SCRoots-Lite is for shorter text messages only (about 5k or
60 lines or less).  Transcriptions and long messages (60+ lines) are not
acceptable in SCRoots-Lite.  The topic of SCRoots-Lite is genealogy and related
history for South Carolina.  SCROOTS-LITE IS RESTRICTED TO SHORT TEXT ONLY
EMAIL.  Messages with HTML, RTF, attachments, or other non-text formats are not
acceptable in SCRoots-Lite.  Messages in SCRoots-Lite are archived by the
Forum.  The default "Reply-To" is back to the sender, but users can always
manually change the addressing of replies. 

Subscribe Here: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/scroots-lite

3. [email protected]
Sometimes you just want to chat.  But, chatting is not allowed in our genealogy
areas.  To satisfy your chat urges without irritating our "serious" minded
genealogists, SCRoots has created SCRoots-Chat where SCRooters can do email
chatting till they drop.  The SCRoots-Chat email service is not limited to the
topic of genealogy.  Members may use this forum for polite, non-commercial,
public email chatting on any topic.  Messages in SCRoots-Chat are not archived
by the Forum.  The default "Reply-To" is back to SCRoots-Chat, but users can
always manually change the addressing of replies.

Subscribe Here: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/scroots-chat

4. [email protected]
This service operates under the same policies and guidelines as the SCRoots
email services at Rootsweb.  It is useful for people with an @Yahoo email
address or others that may not function properly at our Rootsweb servers.
[email protected] is restricted to plain text email only.  Messages with HTML,
RTF, attachments, or other non-text formats are not acceptable in
[email protected].  Messages in [email protected] are archived by the
Forum.  The default "Reply-To" is back to the sender, but users can always
manually change the addressing of replies.

Subscribe Here: http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/scroots

5. [email protected]
Some people want or need to be able to send attachments and HTML coded email
messages.  This is not allowed at Rootseb.  So, SCRoots has setup this special
email service to accommodate this need.  SC-Genealogy is used by SCRoots members
for sending messages with HTML or attachments.  SC-Genealogy is restricted to
discussions and information regarding South Carolina genealogy and related
history.  Messages in SC-Genealogy may be archived by the Forum.  The default
"Reply-To" is back to the sender, but users can always manually change the
addressing of replies.  Messages with HTML, RTF, attachments, or other non-text
