Is this happening to anyone else? Peace/political emails 3 days late?
I received this email from UFPJ today. Notice the date it was sent. I had other emails from UFPJ and World Can't Wait that were dated April 26 and 27th, but I never received them until two days later, respectively. They have disappeared from my inbox. I checked trash and other files, gone.

Subject 2 DAYS LEFT! Help Us Leave No Corner Unleafleted!

No other emails have been ever delivered so late. Why only these about the march yesterday??

WTF! Am I just being paranoid or were these emails deliberately held up? Do I need a looser tinfoil hat?

Thoughts anyone?:hi:

Thanks and peace,
vickiss

1. I'm having overall trouble with Yahoo lately
seems emails are taking 2-3 days to show up in my inbox. No knowledge of Verizon though.

2. I just find it extremely suspicious that it was only
emails about the march.

Were the emails you had problems with political or all emails?

3. all email
it's been going on for about 2 weeks now.

I'll add nothing has mysteriously disappeared from my inbox though - just takes forever to show up in the first place.

4. I've had no problem with any other email. There was
a problem the 23rd and 24th that Verizon finally notified us about, but this is weird.

Thanks for replying Rosemary.:hi:

I guess it is impossible to tell why only these were so late.

5. Don't forget spam filtering
Which is getting more agressive these days, and IME, many political email lists are poorly run to the point where they are getting flagged as spam.

6. I wonder if that is the case. Almost every
email I receive is political, but I agree it may just be poor list handlers. Thanks for bringing that aspect up.

But why did those vanish from my email is another question. Any I deleted from before and after are still there. It's freakin weird.
