I think it has a lot to do with spam and virus blocking.  If mail doesn't
fit in a certain 'mold', I think it's held on to by who the hell knows what,
looked at--electronically of course--and then sent on.  If it is a tiny bit
weird, I have a feeling it gets sent back to where ever it was and after so
many times it kicks it all the way back, something counts it--and if it
happens too many times; it triggers something that kicks you off.  It has
been happening to me lately and it almost feels like all my mail flashes too
many times as they come up like it has to fight through something to get
'home'. Whatever 'they' are doing is starting to cut WAY down on my spam and
my virus notices are less--so maybe it's working.  I can't help but think
most of this will even out in the fairly near future as they catch the jerks
that are causing the problems--hackers and big spammers.  I'm sure there are
real computer guys out there that have a better explanation.  I'm just
surmising from experience.

or is it because of all the recent changes to the list itself ? I must say
it is a little annoying and if it keeps happening I guess I'll have to say
goodbye after being here for the last eight years or so. I might have to
sign up from home...but who has time there to go through e-mails, and the
list is at times what gets me through an otherwise 'challenging' day at work
