FYI, your first attempt went through, but was identified by gmail as spam. I started noticing a couple weeks ago that a high proportion of list traffic was suddenly being marked as spam by gmail (the client I use for my list mail; I don't know to what extent other mail clients are seeing this), so I had to explicitly add a filter to not mark any list traffic as spam. Gmail still gives me a banner insisting that I'm probably still looking at spam, and just scrolling back the last couple days, it appears that all messages from yahoo and aol have been marked thus, including from David Wheeler, Dave Nicosia, Joseph Brin, and Susan Fast among others. I mention these names not to accuse or anything, just to inform and indicate the stupidity of the whole situation. Unfortunately, stupid spam filtering is as impossible to defeat as spamming in general, so I don't really have any recommendations for these innocent victims. For anyone else noticing this, all I can suggest is to do what I did: to add an exception to your client to never mark any list traffic as spam. I understand that the list already engages its own spam filtering (that appears to be very effective), so adding such a filter should be a safe bet (until the next round of the spam-filtering arms race). Hope this was helpful to some. Suan PS. On the birding front: had a virginia rail at the North Spring Pool parking lot yesterday (Monday) evening while scouting for a volunteer marsh survey project. Also several woodcocks peenting in the South Spring Pool area. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
