This is fairly common, actually -- by virtue of the way that Internet
mail (ie: SMTP)
works, there is no defined delivery order or sequence to messages. They
will often
come in what would seem to be out of order. It's nearly impossible to
predict. One
of the prices we pay for near-instantaneous communication. :-)

Internet mail is quirky, but this should be a rare occurrance. If you
see problems
like this more than once in a while, let me know.
