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.
David From: Simh <simh-boun...@trailing-edge.com> On Behalf Of John H. Reinhardt Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2020 11:39 PM To: simh@trailing-edge.com Subject: EXT :[Simh] Message order 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. -- John H. Reinhardt
