nevermind, they just got in after 1h30... I thought it'd been 1h since
the first mails because the first ones were already 50 mins late and I
hadn't noticed! I wonder where they're stuck, that's the time
lizzy.crudebyte.com received them and it filters earlier headers so
probably between you and it?

ohwell.
