I have Hotmail and Gmail and other accounts. Hotmail got so bad I've
stopped using it. A huge percentage of emails never made it in either
direction...lost in the digital weeds.
Gmail has a lot of problems too. About half the posts to this list won't
forward...there is something in the header that apparenly triggers SPAM
filters at my ISP.
Assuming one is being ignored via email these days is a mistake especially
with all these SPAM filters and similar stuff that is supposed to help but
instead just caused problems to shift to some other space-time continuum.
