If we are to continue this discussion, then we ought to start a completely new
thread, so that it doesn't get merged with the original thread. And so I have
created it.

I'm sorry but I don't see anything that indicates Edward reply
was a response to Lidell. The >>> in the message appear to
be correct, albeit somebody removed Michael's timestamp.
I've attached a screenshot showing the threading (Folder/Options).

Yeah, sorry! I stand corrected.
E.Liddell's email was later in the thread, but Edward's was not a direct
response to himself.
I am still mystified about why the timestamps are apparently out-of-sequence,
regardless who responded to whom. Did it really take nearly two days for an
email to be delivered?
Also there is the fact that this occurred before, about 9 months ago. (I could
attach yet another screenshot, but the incident is not fresh.)
I did try changing Kmail configuration to organize all emails by threads. This
would be helpful for TDE's mailing list; however, I must choose to organize
all emails by threads, or none, and cannot choose only TDE's folder to be
threaded.
It may be that I am wrong here. (It did happen once before, 16 April 1964,
about 3 pm.) But as I say, timestamps only get messed up with TDE, and it has
happened before, which makes me wonder.
Perhaps there is some perfectly reasonable explanation (nothing to worry
about, nothing to see here), and I did not intend for this to get so
involved. However, it makes no sense that the time stamps are so far
out-of-sequence, that earlier emails follow later emails by nearly two days.
Or can somebody else give an plausible explanation?
