(It sat in the pop-server because I don't fetch mail regularly, only when I actually want to read it.) This makes me curious whether my message spent the 4 hours waiting on Sonya for RR to finish receiving it, or whether it spent 4 hours in some spool or queue at RR before getting its first RR timestamp.
