Our mailbox has been getting a huge amount of nasty spam in recent weeks. In response I turned up the spam filter too high, and only just discovered that a number of legitimate e-mails (including one from a fellow blogger) were mistakenly tossed into the wastebasket. I think I retrieved most of them, but if you haven’t heard back from me and are wondering why, that may be the reason.
Two tips for correspondents:
(1) If you’re forwarding an item to us, remove “FW:” from the subject header of your e-mail.
(2) Mail with neutral-sounding one- or two-word subject headers like “Thank you” sometimes gets flagged by the spam filter.
Sorry!
