Just to throw one more bit into the mix I've noticed that quite of few of the [lace] messages have been going into my Spam folder in Yahoo. I'm not on the digest, but I've been making an effort to check my spam folder and identifying those messages as "not spam". I'm confident that eventually Yahoo will quit sending those messages there.

----- Original Message ---- From: Avital <spind...@gmail.com> To: Lace Arachne <lace@arachne.com> Sent: Wed, June 2, 2010 8:36:07 AM Subject: Re: [lace] Unreceived messages There's no conscious decision or configuration not to send the messages sent to the digest. I admit that possibility never occurred to me. It's possible that that might be causing problems because the digest address is an alias. It's not a true address, so it's possible that majordomo, although it will post messages sent to the digest, won't send it out to the senders for some reason. I've mentioned in the past that it's a good idea to ALWAYS address Arachne mail to: lace@arachne.com and not some of the alternatives floating around (like l...@dont.panix.com or lace-dig...@arachne.com or lace-dig...@dont.panix.com). The main reason is that if you address your message to those addresses, it won't show up in the archives (http://www.mail-archive.com/lace@arachne.com), since the free archiving service cannot be configured for multiple lists, which is what these are. So please put the correct address in your addressbooks. When you write a reply or new posting, take a second to delete the address, if it's one of the aliases, and fill in the correct address. Those of you who aren't getting copies of your messages, please try it and let me know (privately, please) whether that makes a difference.
