"A bad joke in the first paragraph of my recent mailing under this thread, sent 29 April, may have caused it to be trapped in despamming software of the Office for Discarding Babies with Bathwater, though some copies escaped their attentions. This is a resend, in which I have replaced any offending words with substitutes in square brackets, which you should understand, but the Thought Police may not. "
I bet it's difficult for executives at Pfizer to send normal business e-mail about their famous blue pills these days.
Myself, I don't look for Navigation-L messages in my e-mail inbox anymore. This e-mail address I'm writing from is less than a year old and so relatively unspammed, but I've still found that messages occasionally don't distribute to the whole list for some reason. I've found it much more convenient to read the Navigation-L messages from the list archive. For example, when I started my reading session just now, I went to
http://www.i-DEADLINK-com/lists/navigation/
and then clicked 'May' and then sorted by date. I do all my list reading this way. When I see something interesting, I go to my mail and reply.
