[Zmagnette] List response time

[Fletcher Millmore]

And just think - those are the people saying Lucas is bad!
This 8:22 got here about 8:26, much better than your messages the other 
night which were 30-45 minutes.
It is my understanding that the routing on the internet can be tortuous, 
with stuff getting delayed at any point along the way, so it could be 
either - or neither - end. Sequential messages do not necessarily travel 
the same route. I expect a fly by night local ISP could be a factor in 
this, as it must interface with a "real" internet doofus.
I do get email from certain sources that always arrives much later than 
(claimed) sent  time - Rock Auto is one.

Can you get send/receive info from the Digest version?
