I doubt there's anything wrong with the new system or that it's actually
sending attachments. If this is like the RootsWeb mailing lists, whether or not
you see a message as an "attachment" is determined by how your preferences are
sent in your email client, although it can also be a function of how your ISP
chooses to pass on your messages.

I see you're using Outlook Express and I've seen the instructions for how to
configure OE so messages don't show up as attachments, but since I don't use OE
I didn't pay attention to the details. If you can't find anything in your OE
help files, maybe when Layne is back on Monday she'll know . . . or maybe
someone else on the list knows how to set the OE preferences if that's the
problem.
