Dear listers, and specially Carrol Cox and Charles Brown:
Has anyone a suggestion about this technical question?
The two messages coming from the marxism-thaxis list and forwarded by you from the BRC list (see below) repeatedly blocked the incoming messages in my e-mail from Saturday afternoon to early Tuesday, totalling an increasing and unmanageable flood of more than 800 messages waiting to enter, including several repetitions of the same BRC messages.
I was at the edge of deleting all the waiting messages at once in order to regain control over my incoming e-mail but my provider could eventually delete just the two blocking BRC messages, what required the breaching of my password secrecy.
It is the second time since October that something coming from the marxism-thaxis list causes this problem and now, in both occasions, it was related to the BRC messages. To be related to BRC was just a coincidence or would it imply a technical failure originating therefrom?
I don't want to unsub the m-thaxis list in order to avoid this mess again. Instead of directly forwarding messages I suggest you to copy and paste them, a procedure that doesn't take time.
I beg for the patience of those who wrote to me for delaying answers, as well as I recognize that I'm in debt to the lists about some issues on the present crisis (the crisis within the permanent crisis, better saying).
Best wishes, R. Magellan

Sorry, but are you sure it is something in the message ?
Surely you don't think I did it on purpose.
Maybe it broke down and that just happened to be the last message.

By now 349 messages are being blocked in my e-mail because this message below can't enter into. I can't pick them either through Eudora or Netscape.
I can only send messages out. What happened?
