Thanks for that, Blake.  I've not created rules in Gmail before -- but perhaps now our forum friend Dave Massey won't automatically be sent to spam, despite being in my address book!  Cross your fingers, Dave... :)

  First, congratulations Mark... there should also be an "Ironman" award for your efforts over the years to keep the hamsters in the wheel well-fed and running at full speed.  I know what it takes, so kudos!
 
 I thought I'd address the issue of list emails going into spam folders that some have mentioned.  Many already know this, but maybe some will be helped.
 
 Most email clients (Outlook, Google, Thunderbird) will have a way to "whitelist" an email address so that your client doesn't deem an incoming email as spam.  Because Google is  notoriously bad at discerning spam from ham, here is the procedure in Gmail:
 https://www.whitelist.guide/gmail/
 
 If you use a different client, a Google search will lead you to the procedure.
 
 All of that being said, some internet providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc) do spam detection at server level before your client (reader) even gets the message.  (Although Google is not technically an internet provider, their whitelisting method mirrors that of one.)  In that instance you will need to use the provider's control panel to add email addresses to your whitelist.
 
 Both methods work, 'client level' is usually simpler though.
 
 All the best,

 Some of the emails wind up in my SPAM folder which is due, I am told,
to a misconfiguration of the maillist server that the owner will not
correct, not some nefarious plot of Google, this told to me from
UNIX/Linux IT professionals. I have no way to verify this, but a
substantial amount of messages do get shuttled to my SPAM folder, even
after marking them consistently as NOT SPAM.

As to participation, I am one of the "lurkers" who has been subscribed
since circa 2000, but have not been active since I have not been
working on any of my TR2/3s.
