Mail delivery broken? No emails since 2.21 was announced 6 days ago

I noticed by chance newer Fossil Forum posts that never reached my GMail inbox.

Is there something wrong with email delivery?
Coincidence this happened after the release?

No latence issue on the SQLite, Althttpd, or Pickr Forums.

PS: Also no Threads button in the taskbar in Pickr, when jumping straight to a post via an email link.
Must know about the hamburger menu. Having a consistent taskbar across forums would be nice. My $0.02

And yet, I just got delivery on my post above. Puzzled...

Gmail is intermittently fussy about accepting fossil-generated mails. i have all notifications sent to 2 addresses explicitly to keep an eye out for such fussiness but it's been well-behaved for me since sometime last summer. YMMV, of course, and apparently does!

Based on  recent experiences  with Gmail,  I now  believe that  they are
pushing an agenda to create confusion  and make email delivery seem less
reliable; an almost kind of "fog of war" if you will that likely has the
intention of driving more business to them.

I think your assessment is valid.
I'm experiencing delayed emails to a gmail account that have nothing to do with Fossil.

While the big email providers are  becoming more and more like a cartel,
Gmail lately  seems to  be the  most tyrannical of  them all.  I stopped
recommending them as  a good email provider for many  years now, and now
recommend places like ProtonMail.

I've been  receiving emails and  have noticed no problem  with delivery,
but then, I'm not using Gmail.
