I hope this message gets to the server and appears on the list. Very, very weird, I have never ever suffered from "a lack of messages" (quite to the contrary :-) or delays since people started complaining about this. I do get some reorderings and doublings, though. Since the mail list processor mangles headers, could this be related to incoming header formats or maybe even alphabetic order ofdestination address (i.e. some race conditions in the processing kicking in for the people in the back of the queue, ...)? Pure speculation... At the moment, I read mail at home once in a while so I don't see the logical evolution of the threads (or the lack thereof sometimes :-P) well enough to judge at the moment. But at work I follow it up closer than my boss would like me to do and I never get that much confused apart from the "occasional" reorderings. In short : it seems to be random although maybe not to the "sufferers" so this could be destination related or as a consequence of some race condition(s). Guy Bormann
