<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">These days, a lot \
of spam masquerades as opt-in mailing lists.
Filters are starting to look for opt-out instructions, disclaimers, etc.
Ask some of your recipients who didn't get the mail whether their isp
has spam filters. If they do, there may be a way to configure it to let
your list through.</span></font></div>
