    No, not at all weird. It happens quite often. Checking the database for the 
    messages of 2008 (don't worry: I only wasted 120 seconds on this!), it 
    appears that roughly 1 out of 75 messages arrives out of order. This has 
    nothing to do with NavList. It's just normal behavior for email which is a 
    rather low priority activity on the Internet. Most messages arrive within a 
    minute or less, but rarely they can take thirty minutes or even hours to 
    propagate. Don't worry about it unless 12 or more hours elapse.
    
    Sometimes, rarely, messages don't deliver at all to some email addresses for 
    all sorts of reasons. I've recently set up the message boards/archives at 
    fer3.com/arc to check for messages on two different servers widely 
    "separated" on the Internet which seems to guarantee that no messages are 
    lost there (at fer3.com/arc) and also means that messages arrive out of 
    numerical order less often.
