Hi, Alice.
If I understand you correctly, the spam filtering is happening on your
end (that is, either through your service provider or through the
email software that you're using). With regard to your service
provider, you may want to email them and ask how to solve the problem,
if they're the ones labeling weeklong-l content as spam. With regard
to your email software, all modern software enables you to whitelist
(i.e., the opposite of "blacklist" certain domains and email
addresses). This is true even if you primarily use a web-based email
client (I use Gmail, for example).
If none of these suggestions is helpful, you may want to consider
getting a Gmail account, which you can configure to do all this
sorting for you, and at the same time ensure that email sent to your
Gmail account is also sent to your Earthlink account.
I'm pretty sure there's no spam filtering or labeling happening on the
Weeklong-L server end -- what happens normally is that stuff that
appears to be spam to that server is held for me to moderate.

Mike, while you're at it, can you keep my address
on the weeklong list from
going into my own spam folder no matter how I redirect it or unblock it?
Many thanks, and thanks for the discussion around Coriolanus, which I follow
as a guilty never-read-it observer.

I notice that there's some spam coming from Kathy Blackbird's email
address. I'm going to disable that email address for now on the
mailing list -- Kathy or someone else can tell me whether to
reactivate that address, or to enter another one for her.
Thanks, and sorry for the hassle.

Folks, I haven't been getting messages about
backlogs of weeklong-l
mail because those messages were sent to my old (deactivated) email
account. I've stepped in today and fixed/unclogged that mailing list,
which explains why you're getting months-old mail from weeklong-l. I'm
trying to ensure that the weeklong-l mini-mailing-list remains active,
if we should need it. Please forgive my not attending to this sooner.
