Whatever, it's a nice enhancement and I look forward to many happy returns -- of both the newsletter and the email alerts. Thank you.

If TalkMail is what you mean

that is unfortunately a separate path -- it's sent manually on a biweekly basis.
Tech says the server was just tested to see if it would queue and lock the queue properly, which could have caused intermittent issues if the server began to overload; this has been reconfigured and should help.
