The path starting from a HyperNews message posting
and ending at your
mail box has many steps, each of which could result
in the mail being dropped before you get it.
1. You must be on the subscription list for the message thread or forum.
You must be subscribed at the forum level to get all
messages in the forum. You might be unsubscribed
accidently (or maybe via a bug) for each message, which
would override the forum subscription.
2. You might have a member preference setting to send
no emails to you. Or your email address might have
been deleted from the member info somehow.
3. The email notification configuration option might be
disabled for the whole installation.
4. Outgoing email via sendmail might have numerous problems.
5. There might be a spam filter that mistakenly assumes HyperNews email is spam.
6. Even if you get the email in your inbox, you might have
filters that hide it or move it to another folder that you
forget to look in.
Aside from all those possibilities, there might
bugs in HyperNews that are triggered by circumstances
I don't know about yet.
Hope that helps narrow the field of possibilities.
