Gregandlaurel, Not receiving list e-mails is a frequent problem, due to a flaw in the service that Milllenia uses. You need to send an e-mail to [email protected] and ask them to fix your partially-working subscription.
We had a big discussion here in 2009, where some people were bemoaning the fact that ibid had stopped working in the then latest release. Some points: - ibid is only useful for a citation where the master source is identical to the one in the immediately preceding citation. The way that reports are constructed, we have little control over the order of citations in footnotes. - Legacy uses the concept of 'subsequent citations', where an abbreviated form of the master citation is used if that master was cited anywhere above in the list of citations. - If both the master and detail information in a citation are identical to a previous citation, then Legacy should simply use the same footnote number in the report, rather than create a new footnote. It was not clear whether this was always working. - Subsequent citations get very complicated when dealing with SourceWriter sources. Bugs were logged. I haven't checked whether any work has been done on those issues. Many e-mails in the LUG archive.

Again, not so far as I can tell. Another argument against putting pictures with/in/on sources, I guess. > Twice is overkill.
