If you have a guestbook on your web site, I suggest you check it and keep watch. I wrote my own guestbook, so I have it set to send me an email whenever someone adds a submission, but I'm guessing that the free guestbook services some of you may use do not email you to let you know that you have a new submission. Therefore, unless you check your guestbooks, you may not know you have a new listing. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
