Yahoo mail can be set so the spam filters do not
filter you out Ron.   Simply look in the bulk mail and
recover busdepot mail and indicate this is not a spam
address.   So what have you done to make you a second
class spam man?

And with it, most Bus Depot email - even if we're
responding to your
direct inquiry!  I've been told by a couple of
customers that Yahoo
classifies Bus Depot email as spam, at least at the
higher security
settings, even though we never spam. Then I read a
study showing that
Yahoo's "false positive" rate (that is, classifying
non-spam as spam)
is
22% - nearly the highest in the industry!  In fact the
article noted
that many Yahoo subscribers had trouble getting onto
the U.S.
Government
"do not call" list last year, because, ironically,
Yahoo's spam filter
intercepted the FTC's response to them as spam!

So if you're a Bus Depot customer and use Yahoo mail,
check your bulk
folder carefully if you've recently sent us an email
or placed an
order!
