Unless you are citing a Source of some information there won't be a citation! If the e-mail is giving you information which you want to record against a particular person or persons then you could enter that information as a Note (General or Research) if not in a more specific field and cite the e-mail as the Source of the information. If you simply wish to record that you contacted this person and note his reply, To-Do is probably the most appropriate place. -- 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
