Doh...  that's no good...  guess that explains a lot too...

I went to hotmail for my primary e-mail as a method maintaining a static
address, instead of having to change periodically as I changed connection
type (no point paying for a service when I get a free broadband connection
right now).   I guess that if the problem continues I might need to look
into changing my digest e-mail method.

Thanks Richard!
