1) The server wasn't sending things properly for awhile.
2) That post was longer than would go through automatically; it was
around 60K, and there's a limit of 40K for a message going through
automatically.
3) When I went to check on the posts requiring moderation, there was a
problem with the server or something. :( (As soon I checked at a time
the server was working properly, Nick had already taken care of it.)
4) And sometimes larger e-mails just take longer to get there -- an
e-mail is broken into a bunch of packets of a certain size, and the
longer the message, the more packets, and you don't get the whole
message until the last packet successfully managed the journey. So
sometimes longer messages take a little longer to get from A to B than
shorter messages.
I almost think the Imp of the Perverse is tweaking the server at
times....
