New description:

 I noticed that Gmail now tosses emails from BridgeDB's autoresponder into
 its spam folder:

 BridgeDB's instructions should mention that users should take a look into
 their spam folder if they didn't get a response. Ideally, we should find a
 way to prevent this from happening. I clicked the "Report not spam" button
 of every single BridgeDB email. I hope it will tell Gmail's classifier
 that this is a false positive.
