The source contains all of the required information so there's no need for the citation. Under Publication Facts in the Source, I put all of the information from the email header. If the subject line isn't descriptive enough, I will add a more descriptive subject line.
I should have been clearer. For single emails, I don't use the Citation or Source Detail if it is only linked to one person. I'll use it if it is linked to many others. Since I'm still cleaning up my GEDCOM import, I may find this isn't a good way to handle this.

I am curious - why should there be no Citation or Source Detail just because you only had one e-mail? The fields on the main tab for Source Detail are Record Date and Subject Line. Every e-mail has a Record Date and most have a Subject Line (unless the sender didn't bother to write anything in there), so even if you only ever get one e-mail from someone you will have Record Date and quite probably a Subject Line. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
