Hm. Maybe. But:

. Others are seeing the same thing.
. This just started happening - it didn't happen before.
. I don't see this in other GNU Emacs mailing lists.

What is the difference between a message with RE coming from the list and a
message without RE? Wouldn't they both be treated the same by a spam filter? Why
would the latter (the OP) be delayed more than the former?

This is not about messages sent directly to me from someone. It is about
messages that come from this list.
