I just discovered that I was missing messages for the same reason -- gmail was putting some of them in the spam folder. Here's what I did:
1. click the down arrow at the right end of the search field at the top of the gmail window
2. enter search criteria that identify all the use-livecode messages. I ended up entering "use-livecode at lists.runrev.com" in the "has the words" field -- and nothing in any of the other fields
3. click the search button, and check that you are seeing all the list messages
4. click the "create filter with this search" link
5. check the "never send to spam" checkbox
6. (optionally, choose a label or a category to apply to the messages)
7. I also checked the "apply filter to matching messages" checkbox, which I *think* applies this rule to all existing received messages (the wording could be better)
8. click the "create filter" button

I believe this will take care of the problem once and for all.
