Does anyone else consistently receive ruby-talk messages out of order?  
I will often receive two or three replies to an original post before  
the original post arrives.

I looked at the Received: headers in a few cases and see that the mail  
is arriving out of order to the [mac.com](http://mac.com) mail servers. The next  
upstream server is [beryllium.ruby-lang.org](http://beryllium.ruby-lang.org) and the Recieved: headers  
for that host show the messages in order. So for some reason the  
messages are getting reordered in the queue between beryllium  
and [mac.com](http://mac.com).

Yeah I get that all the time. Usually two or three answers to a post  
before I see my own post show up. Not sure why though.
