[Simh] EXT : Message order

[Hittner, David T [US] (MS)]

I occasionally get the replies before I get the original emails. Sometimes I don’t get all of the emails in a fairly obvious chain.
But you never know if it’s an outbound list server problem, a forwarder problem, or your own inbound mail server’s problem.
Email is not guaranteed delivery – that’s why some people try to include a delivery receipt or read receipt to see if an email made it to the destination.

Anyone else here get their messages out of order?  For example, I just now got Richard Cromwell's announcement of the KL10 even though it's dated 3/10/2020 at 8:16AM.  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?



Another example is Tony Nicholson's reply to Dave Porter about reminding how to get an OpenVMS Hobbyist license (Tony's wording looks remarkably familiar, BTW. ;). I have yet to receive Dave's post.
