I've not gotten anything from either the mailing list to say that my e-mail was rejected, nor from my ISP's mail server indicating that there was a problem sending the mail. I would say here though, that as much as I'm heartened by the fact that there are replies to my posting today, I still haven't actually received the *original* posting I sent to the list sent to me - which has always been a sign that it actually got to the list. Or., has the situation changed?
