George, excellent suggestion and brilliant detective work. Thanks.

I believe, in the case of this one message, I have discovered the problem to be a message rule in Outlook Express which moved it to an incorrect folder. I just don't yet understand why it did not do the same to the original message as well as the follow-up and also why it did not affect the SAREX messages. I'm sure I'll figure it out though. However, this does not appear to explain what has happened to some earlier messages which predate the change I made to the rule which caused the problem. Actually it was more to do with adding a rule for SAREX messages and slightly altering the AMSAT-BB rule so that they did not conflict. As a result of all of this, another rule ended up taking precedence over these two. Better detective work on my own part (searching my local folders by subject) would have revealed this sooner. So sorry for being less than my usual thorough self.

Armed with George's suggestion I will be able to compare my Sent Items folder with my AMSAT-BB folder and the AMSAT-BB archive to see if there is a discrepancy. I suspect it will all make sense in the very near future.

Thanks to all for your interest, comments and assistance.

Have you checked the archives to see whether your messages are, in fact, getting thru, but you're just not seeing them? Here is the "author index" listing for you from the current AMSAT-BB archive, as of today:

Félim Doyle M3HIM Re: ISS SSTV Re: iss sstv? 144.490? Re: ISS SSTV Doppler Shift :-) Re: Doppler Shift :-) Re: 8 SSTV pictures received from ISS Space Station. Missing postings to AMSAT-BB Re: Missing postings to AMSAT-BB Re: Missing postings to AMSAT-BB Re: Missing postings to AMSAT-BB

And here is the listing for you from the SAREX archive:

Félim Doyle M3HIM Doppler Shift :-) Re: [amsat-bb] Re: Doppler Shift :-) Re: [amsat-bb] 8 SSTV pictures received from ISS SpaceStation.

Looks to me like the message you referred to below actually DID make it....

An original message entitled "[amsat-bb] Doppler Shift :-)" did get

through

but a subsequent follow-up with the same subject did not. However both messages made it to SAREX. Hence I believe that [email protected] does

not

agree with my sense of humour and is filtering my jokes! Actually, this has occurred with far less frivolous postings too, both with original postings and replies to postings from others. So filtering based on the subject

seems

to be an unlikely culprit.
