I'm familiar with the problem you face because I help manage
laptop.org mail server and mailing lists, and we get this kind of
thing often.

Yes, there is an inconsistency over time, and this can be because of
the scoring methods used in the mail classification software.  The
scoring methods change over time according to the advertising efforts
of others.  But the inconsistency also suggests that you're right on
the threshold, and there may be some things you can do to fix your
scores.

That can be hard to do without knowing the scoring system.

I've briefly looked at your messages.
Here's a recent example:

Looking at the X-Mailer header, you are now on Mac OS X Mail 8.2.  So
I don't think it is your mail client.  Looking at it over the past
year, I see you are regularly applying updates to Apple Mail, the last
being about 12 posts ago, around the start of February.

Looking at the other headers, there's lots of stuff added by Yahoo.
Yahoo gets a slightly worse score because it was so easy to create new
accounts there.

The X-Brightmail-Tracker is being inserted by an instance of Symantec
Message Filter at mit.edu.

Of the things you might try, the most successful may be to change your
PIClist subscription to another mail provider.  Mac OS X Mail can
handle a number of mail accounts at once.
