        My most recent auto-delete was just like Nate describes -- I *know*
        this subscriber exists; he's a *very* active participant in list
        discussions.  And he's pissed off and confused that he was summarily
        dropped for no apparent reason, other than a momentary belch by his
        system (eskimo.com, FYI).
 
        I understand that the problem is in the recipients' systems, which are
        improperly configured in some fashion.  I have seen several statements,
        by Eric and perhaps by others, that if I don't like this behavior under
        1.8, I should it.  But I have yet to see anything telling me WHAT TO
        CHANGE.  I *want* to change my list's settings to stop this
        auto-deletion, but I don't want to try something that isn't right.
