I mistakenly hit the Spam button, but quickly moved it back. Hopefully, I will still be getting your emails.

Just periodically check your spam folder. If you find TidBITS mail in there, click the “not spam” button. Your mail app (or web-mail service) should correct its database (maybe after a few messages).
Thanks, David. I am using Comcast/Xfinity on my iPad and unfortunately, the Spam button is next to the Trash can. Poor planning on their part! And crooked fingers/inattention on mine!
GMail is the same, and I’ve done the same. One click usually doesn’t cause a problem (at least there).
There is a “Not spam” button that appears when you’re viewing the spam folder which you can use to alert the server to any mistakes (which happen from time to time). I use that button to correct my mistakes in order to (hopefully) not poison the spam detection logic with bad data.
I’m glad you spoke up, Jane! I actually saw the Comcast abuse message because it was flagged in our ISP-level spam filter, and when I figured out which account had generated it, I unsubscribed you from the weekly summary. I’ve put that back now. 
Some of these email interfaces do make it all too easy to mark legitimate mail as spam with a simple mis-click.
