[Fictionary] POIL is our word

[Hutch]

I seem to be having problems too.

I received Jacob's original message from 7/26. I received Pierre's message
from 8/31, but not Jacob's message (that Pierre was replying to) from 8/30.
And I received J-J's message on 9/1.

However, I received all three of them sometime after the morning of 9/3.

[*A few moments later*]

AHA! I *did* receive Jacob's message from 8/30 after all. It was in my spam
folder. Now that I've got it out, I should be good for messages from him in
future. The question remains: why did it accept his message in July and not
in August?

BB,
Hutch
