Received by ISP - after that, between Bobbie and her ISP.
I'm also suspecting perhaps digest mode is enabled, as I don't
currently see more recent for Bobbie's email, though I do for
my (also subscribed) email address.

And checking ...
https://linuxmafia.com/mailman/roster/sf-lug
or can also use:
http://linuxmafia.com/mailman/roster/sf-lug
Yes, bliss-sf4ever at dslextreme.com is in fact subscribed in digest mode.
One may change one's options at:
https://linuxmafia.com/mailman/options/sf-lug
or
