It would be interesting to see whether specific ISPs are a factor. AOL
often seems to be a cause of problems.

So I think it might be useful for the folks that are missing lots of
messages to log directly into their ISP account settings, and see
what's lying around in the SPAM folder, or wherever their ISP puts
email flagged as spam. If that's actually what's happening, then you
can often click on the display of flagged messages and click some
button to tell the system "this message isn't spam". After a while,
depending on the individual spam filter and it's settings, it will stop
flagging PDML messages as spam.

No, not for me. I already thought of that one a long time ago. I have my
spam
filters set low on this particular email address, and it hasn't caught
any
list messages yet.
Jostein has a good idea. Whether my posts can get through to the list
does
appear to be time-of-day related. Early morning, late evening, they get
through.
Midday it's iffy. The shorter, one line posts sometimes get through. The
longer posts don't. But often as not both don't.
This, of course, could be a function of AOL; that the AOL servers get
busy
midday. Although it's not something I noticed before, say last year. And
it
doesn't explain usually not seeing someone else's first, originating
post; only
seeing the replies to their post. That has happened so many times that I
consider it a pattern. In fact, yesterday, when I saw someone's
originating post, I
was rather amazed. First time in a long time.
I think Graywolf is right -- new list software that is messing things up;
especially first posts to a thread. Or Jostein and Graywolf are right.
But I bet
if someone studied it maybe more than one pattern would emerge. Such as
specific originating email addresses, time-of-day, or something.
