The original message to the list is in the attachment. This action is required because of the DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy imposed by some email providers. Users who want to send messages without conversion to attachments should use a different email address for their subscription.
Known providers for free email accounts whose emails do not require this conversion include gmail.com and hotmail.com. Many other email providers will also work but you will have to give them a try.
--- Begin Message ---Dennis, Are all of the SS Numbers in the same field AND in the SAME event? Do you need that particular event or could it be deleted (either globally or for those persons tagged with the number in the place field.) Are you familiar with using Access to manage database data? Could you 'export' those 570 persons and i or someone else could remove the info and send back a gedcom to re-import? I am forever thankful that I did spend weeks cleaning up most all of my problems when I too converted to Legacy.
