[Gmail-Users] Re: missing emails

I've only been using Gmail for three weeks, but so far I have had no problems and I am using IE.  I must admit that I am still learning my way around, we have to allow for that learning curve.  After all,

we are not born with a preset knowledge of this system, but that is not Gmail's fault.  Patience helps, and Gmail cannot help us with that.

For once I can't blame the spam cops.   This is just plain bizarre.

I actually haven't noticed it happening to me, but the listowner of one
of my lists has soem of the posts he makes show up as from Gmail.
Someone else also commented on this.
