jaemtp: Nope, it's still coming through as HTML. The trouble is that some of our list members are on dial-up with no high speed connection option. Worse still, some have traffic limitations and they get understandably aggravated when an HTML message eats up an inordinate chunk of their monthly allotment. So it's actually a case of justified complaining rather than arbitrary etiquette rules or sniping. It's a shame that HTML can't be automatically stripped as it is with RootsWeb lists, but it's something we have to live with.
Personally I'd rather walk over hot coals than go back to data entry via FTM although I do occasionally gedcom my data from Legacy to an old FTM version to use a particular feature. This is an option you might keep in mind. Hopefully Elizabeth's message resolved the trouble you're having. Like her, I have no problems with half-sibling relationships and adoptions. I also have no problem with the "missing" ibid feature. I most often use the Descendant Book Report for one or two generations with sources as endnotes at the end of the book, so each citation prints only once but is often keyed to many different family members. In this format there's no call for ibid. There are so many different report formats available that it's usually helpful if when you're having a problem you state exactly which report you're selecting and give a brief rundown of the options checked. And in spite of the rough start I'll say, Welcome to Legacy; welcome to the list.

I used vers 10 of FTM from 2003 until this summer. I was going to go with their current version but read too many bad things about it. I experimented with this and roots magic 3, and decided to go with Legacy. It was a close toss up! I had my mail client set for plain text, I hope everything is coming through Ok on that end. Yeah, I picked up on a few who want to fall back on the abuse of Etiqutte thing.... usually the same ones who snipe at each other like I read earlier...
