This can happen to anyone, depending on the current sensitivity of the mail-server's spam-detection filter to potential "triggers" in the message. It is particularly likely to arise with mails posted from a gmail account, as your was. This is because gmail is a major source of spam emails, and the spam filter is alert to these. I have had a look at your message (which was duly approved), and I see that it is in reply to a message which itself is in a thread that includes several messages sent via gmail. From the headers of your message: In-Reply-To: <51a9291c.70...@ucalgary.ca> References: <cafcodddp64mfyvttb6b_o6kgotkyr41mcb2spcc4c6anqyw...@mail.gmail.com> <cafeqcdy6+nhk2hgcwqalymyxx1a0trqjthybxx-fub9oyff...@mail.gmail.com> <CAFCoDdBcm4B1tVW7BarkHXAgpqMpTCimmjhrLc3N7=yvsse...@mail.gmail.com> <CAFEqCdz_=YBeeDYLfpDYyTAwjr6a4n2OKTbQaBsb9UC=g9s...@mail.gmail.com> <CAFCoDdC1asW6JGK5huY_kLgCQQCduw8s=yjhhdp0pta_9ya...@mail.gmail.com> <51a9291c.70...@ucalgary.ca> so that's a total of 6 references to gmail (including your own message) which is probably why the spam filter felt a bit twitchy! Don't worry about it. As I say, it can happen to anyone (though more often to some than to others). If it is a proper message to R-help, one of the moderators will approve it (though quite possible not immediately).
