It's the Yahoo list. If you're not getting e-mail from that list, it could be either 1) You have not been approved as a member yet - sometimes moderators get busy or are unavailable to approve people, 2) Your group settings in Yahoo are not set to receive e-mail, or the e-mail address is incorrect or some other kind of malfunction, 3) the Flexcoders list is occassionally slow in sending out e-mails. We set up a Yahoo list like Flashcoders on Yahoo and it performs very well - much faster response than Flexcoders - not sure if it's because Flexcoders has so much more volume or if it's on a different Yahoo server. I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I do know that people make use of Flex modules (which is a way to break your Flex app into several .swfs) so that the initial .swf size is much smaller, and thus, smaller initial download.
