Mark, you can follow the bouncing emails by looking at the raw message
headers. How you would access them depends on your email client,
but "Received:" headers appear in reverse chronological order above the
"From:" line, indicating the times when the email had reached various
servers in its journey. Just be sure to subtract the timezone offset
before comparing timestamps to see the chronology in UTC.
The original email appears to have spent about 4.5 hours at
"phil3.ethz.ch", possibly awaiting moderator approval. The mailing list
spam evaluation headers indicate that it did not think the email was spam,
so some more basic rule or server downtime must have delayed it.
Subsequent emails in that thread appear to have come in chronological
order to my email server.
Sorry, I don't have R code to do that analysis (I did the above by
inspection), so I will shut up now.

Hi Mark,
As with most other annoying, time-consuming operations in the internet
and computing in general, blame the spammers and the scammers. The R
help list is attacked by both and requires both automatic and human
scanning of messages to minimize intrusions. Unfortunately no one has
come up with a simple and inexpensive way to convert the senders to
fertilizer.

Hi all,
I'm seeing the natural sequencing of email threads getting corrupted. For
example, a May 26 thread on subject 'Shaded areas in R' would have been
initiated by an email at 6:58am. However I did not get that email until 1:48pm,
preceded by 3 replies to the post. Trivial but irritating. The preceding
replies suggest this is something going on at my end, perhaps related to
network security. I'm curious what might be causing it, and if there is
something I can do about it - short of contacting IT staff, which is more
irritating than the corrupted threads.
