I have been on this list for approximately 9 years and have received immense benefit from it but I am now afraid that this may be coming to an end. Recently I have been receiving a few emails in my inbox as they should, some emails with attachments which has been explained e.g. yahoo and which I will not open but will instead delete immediately, and the majority have been received in my spam folder which again I will not open. At this moment, I have received 10 emails in my inbox and 46 emails in my spam folder for the period of 03/16/16 - 03/19/16. I also know that some emails are never received at all.
As an example of my frustration, I received Pat Hickin's email in my inbox inquiring about creating a Comprehensive PDF which immediately attracted my interest. This was followed by two emails responding to this which seemed to imply that Michele had furnished the answer. However I had not received that. I then found Michele's response in my spam folder which again I will not open. I next decided to check the archives believing that the entire thread would be readable there. However, I there discovered that the archive hadn't been updated since 03/15/16 so there was no Comprehensive PDF thread. I finally found it updated today, 03/19/16, with the thread including Michele's solution which was great. I understand Ken McGinnis' explanation of MailServers altering headers, etc., leading to spam issues. However, I do not understand why I can receive Pat Hickin in my inbox and have received Michele there also on other occasions, yet Michele responding to Pat goes into spam. It seems that there should be some degree of consistency in the handling. So my question is whether there is any hope for improvement? If there is, I will try to stick it out because I have always liked this list. If, however, this is the way it is going to be, I will be submitting an unsubscribe request. If I can't receive information in my inbox and I can't rely on the archives, then there is no benefit. And please don't tell me to change email providers as it is a little late for that. I have been using Xfinity/Comcast webmail for over 10 years and I have it configured the way that I want it with some 170 folders for storage. Hoping for an optimistic response.
