If that's actually what's happening, then you can often click on the display of flagged messages and click some button to tell the system "this message isn't spam". After a while, depending on the individual spam filter and it's settings, it will stop flagging PDML messages as spam.
TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ ============ No, not for me. I already thought of that one a long time ago. I have my spam filters set low on this particular email address, and it hasn't caught any list messages yet. Jostein has a good idea. Whether my posts can get through to the list does appear to be time-of-day related. Early morning, late evening, they get through. Midday it's iffy. The shorter, one line posts sometimes get through. The longer posts don't. But often as not both don't. This, of course, could be a function of AOL; that the AOL servers get busy midday. Although it's not something I noticed before, say last year. And it doesn't explain usually not seeing someone else's first, originating post; only seeing the replies to their post. That has happened so many times that I consider it a pattern. In fact, yesterday, when I saw someone's originating post, I was rather amazed. First time in a long time. I think Graywolf is right -- new list software that is messing things up; especially first posts to a thread. Or Jostein and Graywolf are right. But I bet if someone studied it maybe more than one pattern would emerge. Such as specific originating email addresses, time-of-day, or something. HTH, Marnie aka Doe
