I presume the last delay (or the first, reading backwards in time) is
just the email arriving at your ISP at 16:07 (BST) and you trying to
read it at 19:36 (BST)

But this one seems to be huey.classiccmp.org hanging on to it for nearly
half a day:

For the record, the email to which I am replying has these headers
(amongst others)
and seems to have been received by huey on Friday and dealt with on
Monday.
Does heuy not work weekends? Or is that when he's off golfing with looey
and duey :-)
