Odd.  I cleared out googlemail's junk this morning and didn't see them.  Never 
mind, though, at least it has got through now, although I still haven't 
received a copy.  I've searched googlemail's inbox back to before my post, 
and they are not there, nor is the latest copy (sent after I cleared out 
junk) in their spam filter.  Most odd.

I don't send through gmail.  I receive through gmail and use their address for 
the lists, but I send from kmail through my ISP.

How can you do that in 4.0.x, Kevin?  I didn't think it is possible.  I'd 
certainly like to try it.
