It appears that this mail message got stuck, and arrived after the later re-transmission of the message, to which a 
reply was sent.

E-mail should be thought of as a datagram protocol, even though it runs atop what might be thought of as a link layer 
that provides reliable delivery (SMTP) - there's no end-to-end guarantee of reliable or ordered delivery.

This means that you might need retransmission, i.e. resending a message...

...but don't retransmit too quickly, given that a mail system can be stuck for hours or even days, and given that 
e-mail is often a request/response protocol, i.e. mail messages often ask questions to which a reply is wanted, and 
given that there's no guarantee that a reply can or will be generated within a short period of time.
