Chuck,
I had this symptom with the list a few months back and at the time it
appeared to be an issue with mail services thru ICDsoft possibly having
blacklisted the free.fr domain. The list would get quiet and then I would be
flooded with messages, sometimes the drought would last 2-3 days. Then I
started getting the replies to some messages but not the original question.
Finally I changed over to a Gmail account and have not had the problem
since. Gmail has a pretty slick web interface for the list with nesting for
threads and auto hiding already read messages in the thread. I have had the
occasional post being classed as Spam, which is easy to correct with the
webmail interfaces "Not Spam" button. Also I don't get my original posts
when checking on a POP service with Outlook (I haven't tried Thunderbird yet
as per Moose's suggestion for a fix to this problem). Hope this helps.
