Hi Shannon,

At the very bottom of most Minutus group messages there is the Yahoo
tag (it is never on one of yours - I don't know why) If you click the
option "visit your group" it will take you to the home page - then
you click on messages - if you can't click it's usually because
you're not signed in - so sign in - and the messages will be there
with a bar across the top where you can either put in the message
number that you want or a key word. It's on the same line as
the 'reply'option.
The search worked for me when I typed in "okou" and also when it's
spelt with a K and not a CC - Hey, I noticed for the first time that
it was in those NWS flu rubrics posted for Rochelle recently.

And just while we're talking technical stuff - your messages come
straight to my inbox now - but Irene's still don't. I always have to
check the site for those.

Hi Rochelle,

Irene's posts don't even make it to my spam/junk - A while ago quite
a few posts weren't making it through - I contacted the windows help
support - and since then I get everyone's eles's but still not
Irene's. Her's also don't make it through from her Vethom group.

It's really helpful for me when people leave her posts complete when
they reply to her - because then I can read them without visiting
the site and hunting for them.

Irene, please excuse me for talking about you in 3rd person.

Gail

"delusions of computer literary" are long since cured, LOL!)

Hi Gail,

About not seeing my email and not finding it in your spam folder either
- that implies your own ISP is blocking it - so you'd need to ask your
ISP why they are blocking it as it *is* being sent to you from Yahoogroups.

Some ISPs do use non-standard "spam" filtering - for example aol,
hotmail and a few others. This means they use "rules" they invent that
exclude good mail with the bad, just to take shortcuts. For example aol
sometimes blocks any email that contains the word "angelfire" in it
anywhere.
It happens that angelfire is where I have my website so it is in my
signature lines - and there are tens of thousands of legitimate websites
there - but there are a few spam sites there too. So they tar and
feather the lot instead of just the spam ones - as a shortcut. People
who pay for thse ISPs should complain!
Ethical ISPs do no do that:-( But it affects both me and the people
who want my emails. Only your ISP can fix it however.

So - If you take this up with your ISP they can fix it (if they are
willing) by white-listing my email or by using more ethical spamware.
(Don't hold your breath on the latter.) Point out that YOU are paying
them money to receive emails you want :-)

That's the only potential "fix" I can think of (apart from voting with
your dollars for internet access that uses more equitable rules.)

Sometimes if you put an address in your address book you can set your
browser to not put it in your spam folder - but that only works if the
spam folder has th email and it is not a block at your ISP as seems the
case here.

I'm trying to send this directly to you as well as to the list - so that
you can hopefully find it in the archives one day if you do not get the
direct copy:-)

Namaste,
Irene
