[Rhodes22-list] Problems with the gmail spam filter

[Jack Chirch]

Hank:

I'm a G-mail user, and have the same situation.  It seems to filter out
occasional list messages for no apparent reason.  My G-mail spam folder
currently holds three messages from Ed ("Tootle") spaced over the past two
weeks, and four in a row from Rob Granger this morning.  No others from the
list.  Strange!

I've already added it to the contacts.  It's not everyone that goes to spam,
just the odd one here and there.

Have any of you other gmail users out there noticed this?  Brad?  Slim?
