Checking today why my latest post on the "Re: Gurus - does/can Vim have
a functionality resembling Info?" thread hadn't appeared here, I found it in
my spam folder. The cause is startling:

But 99% of posts are not similarly mis-flagged (by google AFAICT).

Is this causing similar havoc elsewhere? False positives in spam
detection seem to totally negate the process's value. Is it google who I
have to try to complain to? (The guilty party isn't exactly nailing its
colours to the mast in the headers.)
