It happns sometimes. You can analyse why by looking at the full headers a=

doing the arithmetic. You might find that setting the mail to "urgent" ra=
ther=20
than "normal" or "bulk" helps, depending on where the slow up is.=20

Other than the above, (or setting up your own ISP) not really. Hiss's com=
ment=20
about recieving replies before mail is returned highlights the problem: t=
here=20
can be a slow up in any of the places mail is relayed, and mail certainly=

isn't all relayed via the same places.

Mind you, I've already recieved mail from Bruce O'Neel which isn't due to=

sent until the 16th!
