Votes from Dave, Toni, Dick, and Tim B. have not appeared in my Email.
They are present in the Parlor at tapcis.com and in the Google group.
They are not in my inbox nor are they in my spam.

I did receive earlier votes from Dan, Mike, Nancy, Dodi, myself, Judy,
and Wayne.

Guerri, I play by e-mail and AFAIK have been
receiving all of the votes.

I decided to check my settings, and they said "no mail". I certainly
did not change that! I reset the setting to "mail" and will see
whether that cures the problem.

Dodi, I noticed that you have a tag line on your message, at least as
seen directly in the group. I've quoted the whole thing so you can
(presumably) see it. I checked your voting message, delivered properly
to me by Email, and there was no tag.

I think that back in March when tapcis.com Email was switched to Google,
I probably *did* set my Dixonary account to "no mail" in order to use a
convoluted scheme to allow my own messages to be reflected back to me. I
just now changed to "mail" and my message was reflected back to me twice.

Something is going on, because I had not changed my Dixonary Google
group settings at all between the time I read the first few votes cast
and the time votes stopped arriving in my mail box. I have also not
changed my tapcis.com Email settings. At this point, I don't know what
to do to make this work again.

GuerriOK, continuing my discussion with myself: in order to work around
the Google Email problem of not delivering my own messages back to me, I
set my tapcis.com membership in the group to "no mail" and created a
second membership in the group, using a different Gmail address, to
receive all mail.

That second Gmail address has a filter that supposedly delivers all mail
not *from* me to my tapcis gmail account, then deletes it. I found the
missing Dixonary messages in that second Gmail account under "deleted
messages". So they were deleted, but were never forwarded, or were
forwarded and then ignored, or something. This was all working fine up
through the first few voting messages for EEM. Subsequent votes failed
somewhere along the line. I have no idea why, and whether it will fix
itself or not.

Anyone have any idea what might have happened?

Guerri, in A to your Q about the tag line: I usually vote from what I think
of as "home"--i.e., with my e-mail client (TAPCIS); no tag lines there. I
commented on your non-delivery report from Mail2Web.com, which sometimes
slaps on promo lines, with which I've naught to do.

There'll be no tag line on this one.
