Not getting TalkMail
I have seen references to TalkMail but never really looked into it. I did today and now wonder why I haven't been getting it via my gmail? I get subscription alerts to new posts and private messages but that is the only FT email I have ever gotten. I am set to receive mail from admins in my settings. How do I subscribe to TalkMail?

TM is every 2 weeks (almost like clockwork) -- latest went out on 6/11 (Last Tuesday). Before that, 5/29 and 5/14.
Be sure your email address is up to date in your profile, check your SPAM folder, and sign up again using the link on the Home Page.
If you still don't get one next week, let me know & we'll see what's what.
If you want me to forward you any of those last few issues, lemme know!

My e-mail hasn't changed since I signed up for F/t back in 2004 and I checked that it is still in my F/t profile and that F/t was not inadvertently flagged as spam so I'm going to "re-up" via the home page and see what happens with the next issue on or about 6/28 and then let you know (unless you can check for any bounce backs)
edited to add: Just tried "re-upping" using my e-mail address and it "failed" because my e-mail is already on file so now I'm stumped

Same as above for me too. It says I am already signed up yet I have not received a single one. Spam not the problem (checked). This was my fail message. Any ideas?

And can you check for me as well and as an aside, I had a problem with a friend's e-mail a few years back where my provider* flagged her provider as spam and was heading it off so I'm wondering if that may/might be the case here as well
*my provider is pacbell.net (aka at&t.net which is run by [for lack of a better term] yahoo mail

Email problems are notoriously hard to resolve because there are SO many places (most of which are out of our hands) where they could snag. I'll see if you're on the opt-out list, but I know the emails go out to all who are subscribed; after that, there's very little we can do.

Ok and I'm going to have a fellow member forward me their next issue of TM which I will fwd to my provider to see if anything is going on on their end but can you do me a favor and send me an e-mail via FT to see if I get that as if I don't receive it, then it leads me to believe that my provider is doing something

Looks Like I didn't receive the latest issue of Talkmail as I rec'd a fwd from a fellow member but nothing in my inbox or spam folder as her's was sent at 04:09PDT this morning and in looking at the "F/t sending address", it was sent from "[email protected]" which appears to be a different domain from the test e-mail you sent earlier (iirc, ftforums or something similar) Any way to see if it bounced back tho my gut is telling me that my provider is blocking it and I'm gonna call them to try and find out (but my gut is also telling me that won't get me far)
