Does yahoo have a feature that blocks "suspicious" words?!
I tried sending an e-mail to my parents today and they never got it. I resent tonight and they didn't get it either.

The letter is in my sent mailbox, but I can't fathom why they wouldn't get it. :crazy: (it did include some snippets of somewhat political news articles but that sure as hell can't be perceived as threatening?!?!)

1. Did they check their bulk mail?

2. I've had email take up to a week to deliver. Sometimes I get
messages that delivery was tried but couldn't be done and they will keep trying for 4 days. Have you tried sending email with nothing suspicious in it? Make sure their mailbox isn't full. Any pictures or other large attachments that may get bumped?

3. I included an attachment of my budget spreadsheet...
But they had received a note from Arizona so they're sure it's not their end.

I'll call them tomorrow and ask if they got the test messages I'd said.

It could be a fluke too.

I know I didn't send anything suspicious (like I said, news snippets with *'s name in them) but maybe somebody perceived them to be. Silly...

4. They got my two test messages...
I dunno. Maybe their mailbox is full. It just seems bizarre.

And then I'll note my friend hasn't received his package yet (2 weeks) and I'm still waiting for my iPaq replacement battery (over 1 week so far).

Am I a target?! (hell, let them look. They'll find my counselor soon enough, get that info, and then realize I'm as troublesome as a chicken omelet.
