But posts to the list still seemed to vanish into the ether while
emails from both accounts reached other destinations without delay,
During this process a number of posts from other users did appear in
the list archive and at at _one_ of the two e-mail addresses which I
had subscribed.
But no sign of any of my posts.
About 24 hours later, all of my posts (and the confirmation e-mails)
all showed up in a burst at the same time on two different unrelated
e-mail accounts.
I still have no clue what was going on...
Looking at the email-headers, there are sometimes considerable delays
between messages submitted to the List-reflector, and their outward
transmission (to me).
Interestingly, there's something strange about the queuing. Instead of
FIFO it seems some messages arrive ahead of others, ie out-of-sequence.
(wonder if explained by submission via email or Usenet?)
I've noted long delays too. Perhaps (also) to do with time-of-day?
Always feel slightly embarrassed if 'repeat' an answer* that someone
else had previously submitted, eg __new__ thread and @MRAB. However, if
the reflector 'holds onto' the earlier message, then how should I/anyone
know?
* yes, repetition improves learning, slightly different words may help
comprehension; but doubt I can express anything better than the
aforementioned does/did/can.
