Did you check with Bassman if he actually did send them?

Hello H20doctor,

You have received a new private message from "BASSMAN" to your account on "Northwest Dive Club" with the following subject:

Maybe it was an earlier PM ... I've gotten some email notifications recently for PM's that got sent to me several days earlier ...

Or, if someone sends a PM, then changes their mind and deletes it from their outbox, I don't think it shows up.

Happened to me once.

I always wondered what they wanted to say....

There's been a lot of delayed email notifications coming out of NWDC. It's probably an old notification that is referring to a pm you've already read.

i know on unix systems if you have temporary failures sending e-mail they'll get dropped in the mail queue on the server. there's supposed to be a process that cleans those out, but sometimes it'll be misconfigured and once its fixed it can suddenly result in months-old and years-old e-mails finally getting delivered. maybe with the recent instability something like that was broken (didn't start on a reboot or whatever) and its now fixed?

It seems to happen every few months to varying degrees.

It ain't just NWDC ... I got a text message a few weeks ago from someone I hadn't communicated with in quite some time. I read it and it didn't make any sense. Then I realized ... it was a message he claimed to have sent me in September ... and I just got it in mid-February ... that's gotta be some kind of record for an electronic message ...
