  Does it matter if you have a replay to your post (like now)? Can you
  see your message now?
 
 
  Can you see your message now?
 
  I sent a message over a half an hour ago replying 'Yes' to your query;
  but that 'yes' response hasn't shown up here yet although it is in the
  archive.  The usual turnaround time is about 1 to 2 minutes.  The first
  two messages that I sent on this thread made it through instantly.
 
 

The 'yes' response which was sent about a half hour - 45 minutes before
the second response arrived here about an hour after the second message
i.e. about 2 hours after sending.


 OK. We have here two messages from you, the second arrived about a
 half of an hour after the first one.
 

The second message, a reply to does it matter arrived first about 1-2
minutes after sending.

I also noticed that even for a thread that wasn't mine, I received a
users response about 1/2 an hour before I received the original post.

 
 Recently I had similar problem with my messages. But in my case I new
 exactly where problem laid. I used rambler.ru here in Moscow, Russia.
 And they have the same reputation of 'screwing around with their
 system on weekends without telling anybody' ;-) My solution was to
 sign up in gmail, then set up my old address as 'reply-to' in gmail
 and forward all messages to the new mailbox from the old one. You
 could then unsubscribe the old address from list-messages and
 subscribe for it on the new one.
 Hope that helps. In my opinion gmail is the best mail-provider I've
 ever used. But I use web-mail, not programs like evolution or kmail...

For the time being I am going to drop the issue, as things seem to be
straightening out.

Just for future reference, and to add to my own personal knowledge, I
wish I had a better idea of what was going on.  I have wasted 2 or 3
hours try to figure out what I did wrong when I probably haven't done
anything I shouldn't have.  It would be nice to be able to recognize the
source of this kind of problem.

Have you checked the Received headers of the messages in question?
It's quite possible that one of the hops along the way was the source
of the delay.  Greylisting or other anti-spam tactics might be the
cause.

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 :-)

No reply necessary, but just to point out the irony.  The quote from a
post of mine you refer to above is from a message I sent to this list
over 6 hours ago, which you have obviously received, but I have not.

No I hadn't.  I am not sure what I would be looking for.

 of the delay.  Greylisting or other anti-spam tactics might be the
 cause.

Nonetheless, on your suggestion I looked at the headers of a) a message
that had an instant turn around and b) one that took a whole day, but I
couldn't see anything significant other the warning in both about 
domainkeys=fail (bad syntax);

a) instant re-send from fedora list.

 It's quite illuminating to study how email actually works, end-to-end.

I have had the opportunity to read a great deal about email messaging,
internet packets and protocols.  So, I am not starting at stage zero.
However, this is the first time I have had a real question rather than
just a theoretical one.  For that reason alone, to me, the question of
delayed reception of emails is worth pursuing.
 
 It's enormously more complex than most people realize, in fact it's
 something of a miracle that it works at all :-)

I understand that it is a complex question and that emails are not
guaranteed to arrive in a set order but can bounce around all over the
place.  However, in this case, something that has not been 'normal' in
the past is now happening.  It makes the question of what is causing the
delay worthwhile for me to investigate, if only to learn a practical
side of this 'email thing'.

That's fine, just so long as you realize the problem is often in some 
intermediate system over which you have no control.
