The reason your messages are being delayed is that Yahoo is, for some
unknown reason, deciding that they are spam and placing them in the list
spam box. I don't check the box that often, thus the delay.

I notice that one thing many of these messages have in common is a lot of
text from older messages. In some cases the messages is a reply to a reply,
and has two or three messages embedded. Thus if one message is deemed to be
spam, every message that includes it will also be considered to be spam. You
might help avoid this situation (erroneous spam declaration) by trimming
your posts so that you only include the relevant part of the message you are
replying to. 

Trimming your posts generally a good thing to do anyway. It is a great help
for those list members who have chosen to read this list in digest form -
and of course it also reduces unnecessary usage of bandwidth and disk space
on thousands of computers.

Tom, Thanks for letting me know. I will do a little research. SBC/ ATT has
added Norton to their system. While anti virus and spam blocking is a good
thing much of the time, I find that Norton can be very fickle and getting it
to stop blocking a pain. It takes a few reports of spam, or being hijacked
by a spammer and your IP address gets tagged as a spammer. Welcome to
the21st century.

 

I try and remember to trim, but I have my email program to put my whole
reply at the beginning and sometime forget how much is still tagged on
below. Sorry. I'll try and do a better job.
