You may have noticed if you looked at the headers that my mail arrived here several days after I sent it. Same for your mail.
I was told by the list maintainer that it was because the mail contains a "special" word recognized by majordomo. I suppose it might have been the word "sub- scribe" (I'm hyphenating it now to avoid the problem with this mail hopefully ;-).
We might argue whether that's a good or a bad thing -- at least it seems to help keep off the list the sub- scribe requests that people sometimes send to the list address rather than the admin address. Anyway, in the future you might want to look out for such words if you want to avoid delays ...
