Dear Yeping, I just checked on my Spam folder: many of your recent messages
ended up being flagged as spam.

Since you mentioned not receiving your own email message from the list
server, have you considered that maybe something in your mailer is
configured in a way that triggers the spam filters? The raw content of
your message (an excerpt is shown below) looks encoded, and many list
servers may consider it as a sign of spam or worse. Obviously your emails
are legitimate, but servers try to be very strict to prevent the loads of
spam that are sent everyday.

As Peter did already, I would also recommend you to disregard Oscar's
explanation that some messages went unanswered because he is a "novice".
Any new user who reads carefully the documentation (user's guide,
tutorials, mailing list archives) will either find the answer on his/her
own, or will identify the specific question that he/she needs a
clarification with.

Some of Oscar's emails (which most people *did* read) showed that he had
not looked yet at the most fundamental sections of the VMD and NAMD user's
guides. In other emails, when he showed that he did his homework, he got
useful feedback from people who were not "annoyed" at all.

Giacomo
