The SCRoots Forum is a managed forum but it is not a "moderated" forum. Thus there is a manager but not a moderator. A "moderated" email forum is one in which every email message must be reviewed and approved by a moderator before it is distributed to the forum. The SCRoots Forum does not have prior review and approval of messages. All messages are sent uncensored without moderation. An email address for the SCRoots Forum Manager is given in the taglines of every message sent to the SCRoots Forum. The SCRoots web site at http://scroots.org/ also has an email address and a web page link for the SCRoots Forum Manager. As to the question regarding headers. No, there is no way for me to shorten the actual headers in a given message. The headers are written and controlled by the sender's email program and the routing points along the net. The reader has control over how much of the header is displayed in their email reader. Every email reader has control settings for header display. Some messages show header information in the body of the message. That is beyond my control and the reader can't control it either in their email reader settings. The rootsweb email system automatically converts certain types of messages which are not in pure text format. When it makes such an automatic conversion it puts the header information from the converted message into the body of the message. The only way to prevent this auto-conversion process from happening is for the message sender to use pure text format when sending their messages. Messages which are not in pure text format will either be automatically rejected or converted to pure text. Any comments suggestions regarding how the auto-conversion process should display headers should be submitted to the technical staff at Rootsweb.com. They are the only ones who can change the process.
