Compuserve is kind of a strange beast......internally mail is not
instantenous.
I have seen it take hours for a message to go from one Compuserve user to
another.....so it stands to reason that the same delays affect mail with the
outside world. And, I have seen it take hours for a message originating from
Compuserve arrive in my Internet mailbox.
