If you are not seeing your subscription newsletters,
check this information

If you are subscribed with a Hotmail or MSN mail address, forget it.
Hotmail and MSN mail are not competent enough.
You need a respectable and reliable address.
No matter what the Taliban at their support say,
you will NOT see your subscription.

If you have a Yahoo address, then it depends on your version of Yahoo mail,
and apparently on the moon and the amount of traffic at Yahoo.
Sometimes you may get your subscription for almost a month, and
then nothing for a few months.

If you have a Gmail address, make a filter. Gmail has excellent spam
filtering, but sometimes it is a bit too aggressive. If it gets triggered by
me writing about how to remove certain malware, it will from then on
consider mails from me as spam. Just make a filter that marks mail
from humor@webby.com in such a way, that it will never be put into the
spam folder. Gmail is very good and very reliable, and I highly recommend
Gmail, but you DO have to make filters for important mail.

The same applies to many other email services.

Auto-responders:
If some idiot talked you into automatically reminding people, that you
are a silly nuisance, knock it off!

People KNOW that you don't work past 5 PM, and that you probably left
early anyway.They don't expect an instant reply, especially not from you.
They are just queueing up mail for you to read, whenever you get around
to checking your mail.

So, please quit being a nuisance, and stop annoying clients and friends!

It is even worse, when your silly sniveling about not being at work, is sent
to a program, that delivers your subscriptions.

Your unsolicited Auto-Snivel is automatic SPAM!
That causes your email address to be blacklisted,
and ALL future mail from you dumped into the trash, unseen.


I don't usually unsubscribe you because of auto-sniveling, but I know many
newsletter sending programs do have that feature in it.
