Fran, I will reply additionally her to the emails you sent me. Seems I get a delay notice (maybe) 12 hours later. Then I might get a second notice 12 hours later than that. Then I get a third notice that it has FAILED totally maybe 12 hours later than that. By then I am so over it.... The second name you asked about...you are right. Their member name does NOT come up on a search. Try doing a search of posts at the Seed X with the name, and you will see they replied to one thread there, so they are indeed a member....join date March 29, 08, and they have NO EMAIL link grrrrr Anyway. I learned/read a while back that there is a snaofoo with some (newer I think) member names not coming up on a member name search. GW is working on it, but it is very hard to find/pin down the problem. They welcome members reporting each instance (member name)as it is discovered that it is 'not' found via a mem search. I will go now and report via the Contact Us link that that mem is not found. Hopefully it will help them find/fix the problem. I have noticed the ones I have reported, do get fixed and can then be found (a little later) I am sure you know, but others who might be reading this may not that often it takes about 24 hours for a new member's name to be found via the mem name search feature here. Just something good to know...if they happen to mail via GW yet their name is not found. Sue...rbb

I use Outlook 2010 and previously used Outlook 2003. Both versions allow Tracking Options for mail sent. Under Mail "Options" scroll down to "Tracking" and check the options you want. You may request a "delivery receipt" as well as a "read receipt"...but I urge caution when using these options. Not only do some servers refuse them, but they're not a popular tool with many recipients. Further, if your system should become infected with some em generating problem and you've opted for these email notifications, every piece of em sent from your system will flood other systems with your requests...as well as returning innumerable notices to you. So...a word to the wise...consider the down side of this Tracking option before you opt for it. Anne

2014 January 17 19:11 GMT Cisco Security Intelligence Operations has detected significant activity related to spam email messages that claim to contain a notification to attend a court hearing for the recipient. The text in the email message attempts to convince the recipient to open the attachment for review the details. However, the .zip attachment contains a malicious .exe file that, when executed, attempts to infect the system with malicious code. Email messages that are related to this threat (RuleID8513) may contain the following files: Plaint_Note_US_Copy_N0612.zip Plaint_Note_17_01_2014US_Copy_Document.exe

I've ordered once from Houzz... apparently and thankfully I'm not getting these notifications or e-mails, unless they're automatically going to the "Promotions" folder on my Gmail account. Which I don't read. Oh, I've never gotten around to switching my Amazon account to my current e-mail address. I remember getting spam mail from something that said it was I-Tunes or Netflix or whatever it was about ten years ago... requesting money they said I owed... only those mails were going to an e-mail addy I never used with either of those services.
