I noticed the same thing. Even though I have green lighted E. Liddel's 
messages, they still end up in spam. So I have to fish them out as well. 

A friend at google says it happens because their filtering setups, are 
designed to favour paid adverts and spam tag nonpaying competitors. He 
guesses E. Liddel, must be similar enough to a  nonpaying competitor to be 
filtered into spam.

Honestly I think they have it out for Liddel.

Cheers to all

PS Whenever I see an email from Felmon, I always think Felonious Monk, and 
then think of the Monk series. Which only proves, I have a strange mind. No 
offense Felmon.
