Well, thanks for the explanation. It sounds like a bit of a chore, so thanks to you (and all the other members of the dev team) for the ongoing commitment to this package. I am truly grateful for your efforts -- even if it doesn't always sound that way!
Happy new year!

I write the release notes for the website using the git log and a previous release notes, copy & paste it from a browser window into a blank email, address the email to gnucash-announce cc gnucash-devel and gnucash-user with reply to gnucash-user, and send it. That usually works fine, but this time it went into the bit-bucket somewhere between my ISP's smtp server (which my logs show acknowledging receiving it) and Derek's. No bounce or error messages, just poof. Same with 3 resends on the 4.3 announcement and one on the 4.4, so I sent the referral email to gnucash-user that begins this thread. On a whim I tried resending without the cc's and that went through, though only users who're subscribed to gnucash-announce will have gotten them. That's what Frank linked to.
