22 If you don't want to read the analysis below, here's the summary: I
23 received your message, with the info missing in your earlier messages,
24 only later, because I replied to the same message to which your message
25 containing the missing info, just 8 minutes after you replied... Sorry
26 anyway!

29 WARNING: below is probably superfluous, it's mail timestamps and such...
30 Reader freely skip all!
31 ---
32
33 I'm sorry for the confusion. But see below if it was my fault.
34
35 If I had gotten your message:
36 Message-ID: <2085829.vpf8hVLQL8@peak>
37 https://lists.gt.net/gentoo/user/325462#325462
38
39 which was actually in reply to the same email:
40 Message-ID: <D90E68BF-08F6-4E71-9B55-E2CB68A9FA54@××××××××.org>
41 https://lists.gt.net/gentoo/user/325446#325446
42
43 (
44 I checked marc.info archives as well, and changing the subject really
45 splits the thread... Not good! Lurker would have done better service
46 here... (Lurker not even available in Gentoo. I think Lurker available
47 only in Debian/Devuan and their family...)
48 )
49
50 [which was actually in reply to the same email] to which my message
51 (which you partly quote above) was in reply to, but...
52
53 ...But which message of mine appears later in the thread (in my Mutt, or
54 likely in whatever UAs other subscribers use) as well as in the web (I
55 changed the subject, but the number is incremented by 6, pretty
56 obviously some consecutive serial increment, by arrival [1]):

58
59 If I had gotten that message of yours with an equivalent of the info
60 that I wished to see when I mentioned 'gcc-config':
61
62 I would not have doubted your claims in the very least.
63
64 However:

76 and that's only 8 minutes later, that I sent my message, unaware of your
77 reply.
78
79 How could I have known that you had already replied in regard...
80
81 Sorry, anyway.

83 [1] And it also shows, in the message headers, that my message was
84 delivered by my provider, not the hoster of croatiafidelis.hr, they do
85 a good job, and they use Exim server... Not them, they sent fine, but by
86 the provider, they're on some Microsoft server, erhm, erhm... [my
87 message was delivered on by my provider] some 40 minutes later only...
88 Else it would have had the serial just incremented by 1 and not 6 in
89 respect to your message, if it wasn't stalled for who knows what reason
90 at my provider's.
