Just wanted to close the loop here, so to speak. The issue appears to be on
my side: my mail provider is only passing me mailing list e-mails every couple
of hours! The reason I suspect this is because I'm experiencing the same
thing with the 9fans mailing list. I looked at the raw headers, and it looks
like the mail provider's spam filtering might be to blame. I'm going to
try some knob turning.
