My apologies for not checking the archives. I did try but I downloaded a mbox file from one of the IETF mail archive tools that when I importated that into mail.crapp just turned out not to really be a valid mbox file and just turned into one email - anyways, I digress about our broken tools. 

So how do we get this fixed ? Has someone talked to the IESG about this? Right now as a chair, I am making consensus calls that are probably ignoring any emails from people from google.com - and other - because I am not getting their email. That seems like a serious process problem.
