Hello spridgets,
to understand scrambled email is to understand the nature of the
net itself. ..
EVERTHING is sent by packets, made up of parts of the
information carried, whether it is email, a web page, a
newsgroup, whatever.
it travels thru the various "routers" (numbering SIX i think in
the US and others around the world) by the route that is LEAST
busy at the time, thus various packets of the SAME "message" can
travel by VERY different routes, depending upon traffic at any
given moment. when it gets to the addressed "server" it is
reassembled. thus mail sent from different points at different
times can take differing amounts of time to arrive.
