It's not that my e-mail client could not read it, there is no evidence it
was ever sent to me. I use aol.com which is administered by Yahoo!. It
did not even appear in the web interface for my e-mail service, so it
was never delivered to my e-mail client, which is Thunderbird. Neither
the Windows nor the Linux client can retrieve a message not delivered
to the Yahoo! servers! I also checked the Junk and Spam folders and it
was not there either. But I received your message and other messages
normally. It is as if the message was sent to everyone else on the To:
and Cc: lists except for me. I think the problem was on the sender's end
or with my e-mail service, Yahoo!, which apparently does not accept signed
messages without some special configuration that I have not done
with Yahoo! yet. I will look into it next week.
