When alll that appears in a question on an email is ?, does that mean the question has been deleted?

When I click on the ?, I often see "this question has been deleted". Is that a clue?

    Not necessarily--at least not for me. What it means here is that it's a repeat announcement of an old question, sometimes months old. It's a YA! bug, and I've been seeing these off-and-on for several weeks now. They seem to stop just before I get annoyed enough to figure out a filter with no false-positives.

    And then start again....

    I'm not too sure about this Ed, this happens to me as well and i think Y!A immediately deletes the question because of violations. You have to check this with YAHOO.
