I didn't know that. As Cathy Pinner said, I don't bother about the method of delivery, and treat the whole lot as letters, using the date (if any) as the key thing in the detail, because I have them filed by person and then date. > I have submitted an enhancement suggestion that the ability to group by > correspondent be added to the Letters template.

Of course there are two kinds of letters -- I've been talking about correspondence between me and other members of the family, about the family history. But there are sometimes other letters too, usually older, which are not necessarily by family members, but may mention members of the family. Those may well be "one-off" letters, where the letter is the master source. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525 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://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
