Message arrival order?

[John Foust]

I asked about this back in September.  I'm still consistently 
receiving messages very, very out of sequence.  I'm using Eudora,
so it's not a threaded reader.  I'm seeing replies that precede
the original message by many emails. 

For example, I saw seven replies to the "Orlando hamfest" message 
before I received the original post:
