Many thanks Amanda for the explanation of why certain messages go missing. We have a similar problem with another chat group I belong to, and I will pass this on to those who are affected.
My biggest problem with Arachne (I use Explorer, but nothing goes into Spam and I don't miss any messages) is that many messages get truncated, it seems to be as soon as the sender uses some form of punctuation other than a full stop or comma. If the subject is interesting (like yours Alex recently on Bucks picots!), I immediately go over to my internet where I have a direct link to the Arachne archives as a bookmark on my top bar, and read the message there. As you say, these mailing lists are a tiny and shrinking part of the internet, and it's not likely that this could ever be fixed, so I've had to find my own way round the problem.
