I hope you got your missing e-mail issue figured out. I had suspected I was missing e-mails also and after reading your comments I gave more thought to what may be the cause. I use Thunderbird and first checked my spam folder, but didn't find any there. I then wondered if it might be a preferences setting on the listserv website, but that wasn't it either. In my case I have a Gmail address which means, in addition to my local junk mail filter, I have access to a spam filter on the Gmail webmail site. When I checked the Spam folder there I found many MOBIRDS-L and other e-mails that were flagged as spam. To get the e-mails to bypass Gmail's spam filter I created a filter of my own to always send those e-mails to me and not to spam. Unfortunately, I think that is the only way to bypass Gmail's spam filter completely.
I see you have a wustl.edu domain at the end of your e-mail address so I checked - and indeed WashU (as do most large organizations) provides a webmail interface to their staff and employees.
Hope this helps anyone with missing e-mails.
