Dear Andrew & co.
E-mails from e-conf which I transfer from spams to registered mail, is
indeed mail from e-conf, and it does intrude into spam mail for reasons
unknown. They are not real spams....today there was for instance mail from
Marcela Lucero...  Some mail in e-conf can therefore become "unexplainably
lost" and never reaches the adressee.
Sincerely yours,
Lubosh
