[MB] I guess I am a terribly unserious professional. You might consider that some of us switched to gmail because corporate filters are often TERRIBLE about periodically blocking email from IETF mailing lists. And, trying to convince some of those 'Bozos' not to do so is a exercise in futility. If you're lucky, they'll provide you with a daily list of some of the messages they've quarantined and you can then go and retrieve those. So, I've had a much better experience since I switched from using corporate email for professional use to gmail for 'unserious' professional use.
