It appears that this mail message got stuck, and arrived after the later 
re-transmission of the message, to which a reply was sent.

E-mail should be thought of as a datagram protocol, even though it runs atop 
what might be thought of as a link layer that provides reliable delivery (SMTP) 
- there's no end-to-end guarantee of reliable or ordered delivery.

This means that you might need retransmission, i.e. resending a message...

...but don't retransmit too quickly, given that a mail system can be stuck for 
hours or even days, and given that e-mail is often a request/response protocol, 
i.e. mail messages often ask questions to which a reply is wanted, and given 
that there's no guarantee that a reply can or will be generated within a short 
period of time.
