Just to say that Google Groups also blocks people with a yahoo email address. So, when I tried to add fred as one of my group members, it rejected it. I had to have the member supply a non yahoo email address in order to add them.

Yep – same here. What is happening to me is a bit different. Like you, I have all of the FlexCoders traffic go to GMail so I can search for items easier, and have threading. I can reply to people messages, but I don’t ever see my message come back to me. After checking against yahoo groups on the web, I get about 1 of 10 messages filtered. Hell of a way to get confused in a thread.

I had the same problem last week, tried rewording reformatting the message (all within gmail) and nothing would go.

Ended up just giving up

I don’t belong to the Flex Coders list, but I am on several other Yahoo groups, and have never had such a problem either.

I haven’t had such an issue. I’ve been using Gmail with Flex Coders for months without a hiccup. Been actually really enjoying using a GMAIL account for Flex coders so I have all the messages searchable and archived (better than the Yahoo search that is always giving me timeout errors).

Maybe it’s a temporary hiccup with your account? Maybe you were sending an email with a bunch of links? Who knows?

Doug, it might have something to do with the content of your e-mail. I’ve had no such problems with gmail/flexcoders.

I dunno, maybe you use to sign your messages with Doug Mccune in huge blue letters or something like that

The amount of my online life that I’ve given over to Google makes me nervous sometimes. Stories like this only support that feeling.

Ironically, even though in principle I like to see the competition [between Yahoo and Google], it would be nice if flexcoders did switch over to Google Groups – the Yahoo mailing list software has been spotty for as long as I’ve been using it (years).

This is absurd. You should stop using gmail and demand a refund at once! Welcome to the new evil empire.
