In a few cases there just seems to be a delay, and my third
attempt on Sunday to post (with a longer Subject line) seems to
have arrived today, two days on.

I've rarely found that posts don't get through - though two of
three posts about The Belt in mid-October seemed to get lost,
for some reason.

I'm very reluctant to switch to my Yahoo account - it'd be far
less convenient to use, and I'd have difficulty making sure I'd
got proper records of what I'd sent.
