Well, yeah, and since that one person is me, I'm very, very unhappy with it.

Could you post a few example emails, with all the headers?

Most of it's private stuff, either work, or board [at] apache.org or personal emails. I'd be happy to share with someone at Google, but I'm not going to put them in public.

What about just the headers, no body?

Here's one. This was in spam too: http://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/14455/

"Be careful with this message. Many people marked similar messages as spam." is what Gmail reports. I've been subscribed to tcl-core for years, too.

I'd be happy to share a few of these from the open source lists privately - you can write me, hope it doesn't end up in spam, and I'll send you the complete headers.

But your headline reads as if it's a general problem.

It is general enough that it affects me too. Also, if with a service the size of gmail someone has a problem you can bet that that problem affects at a minimum thousands of users.

IT affects me do; I manually clean out my spam filter daily now just to keep the volume 'low'. I easily get at least one false positive daily.
