This is not a Zope-question but a mailing list-question.
Frequently I get messages from the list which are answers to questions that haven't been asked yet. For example, Curtis Ruck's question was sent to me monday, 17-9-01 18:29 and Chris McDonough's answer was sent monday, 17-9-01 18:38. However, in my inbox they are received at 18:40 and 18:35, respectively. My, that's answering fast! As has been noted by Curtis already :-) Can I adjust some settings somewhere to get this right, because this ordering confuses me. Or has it to do with some mailserver along the way?
Yes, emails can be arbitrarily reordered during transmission. Thats just the way it works.
BTW, I'm forced to use MS Outlook. Best regards,
The email from Chris contained a "References" header that a mail reader *could* use to work out that it was a reply to the email from Curtis. Outlook doesnt do that. Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
