jayce,

your messages do not get screened by people, there is a piece of 
software (spam-assassin) that tries to filter out spam - using it is 
part of the reason why alan can praise the relatively good 
signal-to-noise ratio we have on the list. 'spam-assassin' blocks 
messages larger than 40K, or ones with attachments, or ones by 
addresses that are not subscribed, or ones that use (what it regards 
as) too much html-formating.

'spam-assassin' does things like this:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.1 required=20.0 tests=BAYES_50,HTML_30_40,
	HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_QP_LONG_LINE,NO_REAL_NAME autolearn=disabled
	version=3.0.4
X-Spam-Level: *
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.0.4 (2005-06-05) on
	einhorn.in-berlin.de
X-Spam-Score: ** (2.838) 
AWL,BAYES_50,HTML_30_40,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_QP_LONG_LINE,NO_REAL_NAME

***
if you send plain-text messages from an address that is subscribed, 
things simply go through. (you can switch to 'plain text' in the 
preferences of your e-mail programme.)
***

your message below was sent as a formatted message, which is why it 
was automatically blocked. i now send it as plain text, and it will 
go through.

other people have also experienced this, and they normally write to 
inke or myself, and we then push the respective messages onto the 
list.

nothing should get lost.

regards,
-a
