Re: [chairs] email problems

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

We are starting to see some committee posts labeled as Spam where 
this wasn't true in the past:

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-security/201008/msg00013.html
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl-security/201008/msg00011.html

... but so far only from one submitter.  For the second example I had 
deleted the Spam label and yet it was added a second time when the 
submitter responded to my note.  Can you tell if it is the new OASIS 
mail system adding this?  If so, it might interfere with committee 
work based on members' filters.  I posted this to the chairs list in 
case other chairs start seeing the same thing happening on their lists.
