I noticed both of these are are missing from my archives
(which rejects messages unless they come from vger):

I don't have them either, so presumably vger ate them (I usually delete
my cc copies after reading and keep the list ones, and I now have
neither).

Not sure if there's something up with vger or Junio's setup because
other messages (even from Junio) are getting through fine.

Sporadic failures, especially on a single topic, imply that something in
the content may triggered the taboo filter (though often that takes out
replies, too, which this doesn't seem to have done).

I think I figured this out yesterday.  

It was a dot somewhere in the name of a recipient on To:/Cc: line
that is NOT double-quoted.  For this thread, brian's human-readable
name "brian m. carlson" was double-quoted in the original I
responded to and it also was double-quoted in my response.
But there was another recipient with a dot after the middle initial,
which was NOT double-quoted in the original.  

My response seems to have been eaten because that name was not
double-quoted.  I saw that happen yesterday in another thread with
the same recipient, and resent with the only change to double-quote
that name and it went through.
