woot woot (I think the expression our US cousins use). So it was not just
me then...

I've had similar problems with not seeing my own email bounced back via
the mythtv-dev list as well - similar issue? (other see it OK as I'm
getting replies!!). I seem to get other peoples stuff OK via that list but
of course I could be missing 90% and not know it:-(
