Actually many things can force one piece of e-mail to deliver before another.
The original probably sat in a mail queue somewhere for whatever reason

when the network was less congested and delivered immediately.

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.
