I use gmail and still often recieve replies before the original message. Why should using webmail make a difference? Surely it's the r mailing list server that does all the sending (apart from specific individual replies)? And the listserve must recieve the reply after the original, so it seems to me that it must be the time it takes to get between the server and you that is varying. Or is the listserve sitting on some emails before sending them? One test would be to see if we recieve emails in the same order.
