Just found John Logsdon's posting (copied below) on the R-help
archives (for which thanks, John). For comparison with what he
put up below (about 1 hour delay), following that is what I'm
getting at the moment (26 hours delay and increasingly steadily:
was 13 hours yesterday evening).
Just wondering if there's something about mailing to my account
which may be causing delay (but the admins at mcc.ac.uk assure
me there's no problem at their end). If anyone else is experiencing
similar problem (though in that case heaven knows when you'll get
this one) it would be useful to hear fron you (direct, please,
and not via the list!).
