Bill, in my days as the guy where the buck stops for a University user
community, one of the things I constantly had to explain was that email
doesn't obey strict rules of time-ordering as seen by the user, and the
fact that a message hasn't arrived *yet* wasn't necessarily my fault.

It's quite illuminating to study how email actually works, end-to-end.
It's enormously more complex than most people realize, in fact it's
something of a miracle that it works at all :-)
