I think I've discovered why I've thought for a week or two now that TML had gone very quiet.  A passing remark from Jeff (thank you) made me realize you were still going strong and the problem must be at my end.

At first I thought perhaps it was some spam filter being a bit hyperactive.  But no sign of TML messages in my spam folder.  (And I must admit that gmail is generally pretty good at sorting the chaff from the wheat.)

I wondered if maybe I had just been unsubscribed by accident and was about to look up resubscribing.

But before I did it occurred to me to look in the Trash folder.  And there you all seem to be.  But I can't work out why.  For years I've had TML messages automatically sorted into a TML folder and bypassing my inbox.  I've set up a rule to do that (and with a couple of other lists) and they seem to have worked fine.  Until now.  In the Trash folder I can see the TML messages labelled as both my TML folder *and* Trash.  But there's no good reason why.  The rule is still correct and is working, but somehow the Trash label is being added.

So firstly my apologies for asking a question or two and then (apparently) ignoring the answers.  Now I can see them I can reply to them - so expect some incoming.  I wasn't ignoring you all - I promise!

Secondly, I'm not sure how to fix it so if anyone has any ideas, they'd be gratefully received.

Thirdly, I've just tried 'restoring' several emails in the first thread I looked at but it would appear that they're immediately being marked as Trash again so it's all a bit frustrating.

Right - I'd better catch up.  It's 4am here but I can't sleep so what better job to do!!
