But I got Zane's reply YESTERDAY evening and Lars' reply this morning.  Other times they all come in the proper order, but quite often, they don't.  Is it my email service - Fastmail?

My ISP from time to time randomly delays some messages by hours if not a day or two.  It may be load dependent and it may also relate to which internal mail forwarder happens to be chosen for that particular message in the ISP's network.

You can see if the ISP is at fault by examining the timestamps on the forwarding headers of the email.
