Mailing Lists
The Mailing Lists that I manage deal with research on the German families who emigrated to America in 1714, 1717, and from 1818 to about 1835; and who settled in the area know known as Germanna, in present-day Madison Co., VA.
Mailing Lists are kind of like Bulletin Boards, except that, instead of having to travel somewhere to view newly posted messages, each time a message is posted to a List, you receive a copy of it as an email message. You can easily click in your email program to reply to any posted message, and will receive back a copy of the reply just as you posted it. If others reply, you will also see their messages.
You can choose to receive posted messages two different ways:
1) You can choose the -L Mode -- this is just the List Mode and means you will receive a copy of EACH email as it is posted, as an individual email;
2) You can choose the -D Mode -- this is the Digest Mode and means you won't receive each individual message as it's posted to the List. Instead, you'll receive several posted messages in ONE Digest, usually about once daily. The frequency will depend on how many messages are posted to a List each day. A Digest will be sent once daily, or whenever its size reaches 15,000 bytes, whichever comes first. On these Lists, you will usually receive only one daily Digest.

Message Boards
The Message Boards I manage also deal with research on the German families who emigrated to America in 1714, 1717, and from 1818 to about 1835; and who settled in the area know known as Germanna, in present-day Madison Co., VA.; however, they are used in a totally different manner than are the Mailing Lists.
Messages and/or replies are posted directly to the Boards, without being sent to you as emails. This means that, to be able to view new posts, you will have to log on to Boards; you will also have to reply to posts directly from the Boards, not from an email program. You CAN configure a Board so that you are notified whenever a new post is made. (While on the Board in your web browser, look for, and click, "Add Board to Notifications". You will receive an indivual email each time a new post is made.) But, you will not be able to reply via email; you will still have to use your web browser, go to the Board web page, and reply from there.)
However, this SHOULD all be moot, since I have set up the Boards I manage to be "gatewayed" to the respective Mailing Lists. This means that, as an example, whenever a new post is made to the BROYLES Board, a copy of it will be sent to the BROYLES Mailing List. Such "gatewayed" messages will be identified as such in the body of the emails. You still won't be able to reply to them from your email program; you'll still have to click within the emails to go to the Boards for replying.
