[Rhodes22-list] stan's email issue

[stan]

(Peter, I am sending this to you via the Rhodes list to see if you and I 
both get it or you get it and I don't or no one gets it)


Peter, thanks for your note and I do care to comment on it since it is 
way above my pay grade and your coverage of these kinds of issues is 
often understandable, even by those of us brought up on IBM electric 
typewriters.

For the past month or so I seem to be able to continue seeing emails 
sent by others to others on the Rhodes List, however I no longer see 
emails sent BY me to others on the List.  So I sent a test email to the 
List.  Three 3 List readers said my test got to them via the List.  So 
it seems my emails arrive at the List post office and all List members 
see them (I am assuming), except me (I am not assuming). Thus I have 
become unsure as to whether any mail I send to the list is getting 
through since my mail to the List does not show in my inbox.

I do not believe my email address is in any way connected to this 
issue.  What seems like only 100 years ago, Michael Meltzer and I sat 
down in his smoke filled NYC office and argued over the making of the GB 
web site; me being a jack of all trades, master of none, was at that 
time carrying a union card as a member of the radio and tv directors 
guild with a little copywriting on the side, Michael, having been born 
with a computer in his mouth, did the first web site and some time later 
set me up with email. My current memory is that my address from that 
start was stan at generalboats.com. I liked his email set up since it was 
100% free and I was born during the great depression.   Plus anyone who 
worked for GB did not have to have their own address, they merely put 
their name before the @ sign.   Some where along our historic path, (I 
believe when Michael and others created the Rhodes chat room) with the 
address rhodes22-list at rhodes22.org I think they changed my address for a 
better match: stan at rhodes22.com. I did like that address as it was more 
descriptive of what we do. I was not thrilled with the new provider; the 
number of attachments were restricted and even my draft file shrunk. 
Luckily dumb luck had no one bothering to cancel the original 
stan at generalboats.com address.  So when the rhodes22.com email suddenly 
stopped and no one could figure out why, it became do or die time; 
survival was linked to the mountains of daily emails. Rhodies jumped in 
with several stop gap addresses including a stan at gmail.  Not at home 
with their formats, I thought I would try the original 
stan at generalboats.com for the hell of it.  Damn if it didn't work, just 
like the old days, no costs, no restrictions. That was 4 or 5 years ago 
and it has continued faultless.   It's provider: Thunderbird.

What additional info might you need?  I am inclined to guess that I 
caused the problem at this end by having inadvertently pushed some 
keyboard key that gave Thunderbird the idea that I did not want to see 
my emails I sent to the list ?
