Sometimes a message appears on the India List which says: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list... The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list. If you would like to reply to them, please click on the Message Board URL link above and respond on the board. This India List [http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/india/2009-11/1257384425 post] discusses the procedure of writing a reply on the Message Board.
Some researchers have had problems when sending a reply to a previous India List email, as the administrator has rejected their response due to formatting problems. Perhaps the rejection letter has said that headers and footers from the original email should not be included in the reply. Note also that you must be a subscriber to the List to send either a reply or a new email.If you receive an email from the India List which you wish to reply to, this is the procedure:
First of all click on reply. This will give you the address to reply to (which is just the normal India List email address)
It will also give you the subject heading, which will be the same heading as on the original India List email. Then you basically delete almost everything else. The only thing you leave in will be an extract from the original memo, perhaps the question which was asked. If it was not too long perhaps you could leave in the whole of what was said previously. However all the wording you leave in must be relevant to your reply. At the end of each email received from the India List there will be some general information under the heading “===== India Mailing List =====”. This wording is the "footers" referred to above. '''All''' this information must be deleted before you send you response to the India List.
After deleting all the previous email except for the brief extract mentioned, add your response and send. If you do not delete as specified, the administrator is likely to reject your email.
