> Hi all! We have made some changes to (hopefully) minimize Outlook and other Microsoft-administered email systems from rejecting and marking email list messages as spam. Over the last few weeks nearly all Outlook, Live, MSN, Yahoo, and related emails were unsubscribed from the list due to Microsoft rejecting all list messages. These emails have been resubscribed.

If any list messages are marked as Junk/Spam, please flag them as not being so. We’re hopeful the new list settings will help. You may see future messages come in with minimal formatting or attachments. If you encounter issues, please let me know.
