Yahoo and Latin

I think we need some kind of help with the pbs heading. A few days ago I sent a message with Latin bon mots in the text, not title, and not one of them had pinus or nigra as part of the saying; the message it never made it into my spam box...indeed relatively few pbs messages are getting through even though I've written to them.

Do we have some kind of cookie attached to pbs messages? if so, that could cause/be a problem with my browser

Does 
Yahoo 
suffer 
from 
backward 
thinking 
or 
just 
backward 
technology? 
Or
both?
