Sorry! I was looking at the wrong archive! The right place
is of course

  http://lists.gnu.org/pipermail/groff/

which is spam-free (almost).

Nevertheless, I continue to wonder if the incidence of spam
is causing problems at lists.gnu.org; and I continue (at 21:15
GMT) to wait to see a message I sent to the list at 10:10 GMT
this morning (which is however in the archives above), as well.

Apologies for the confusion, and best wishes to all,
Ted.
