Here's the sequence:

Dan sends the message via his ISP's dialup pool at 05:29:17 PDT.
The mail host at his ISP receives the message at 05:28:12 PDT.
The mail host at xmission.com receives the message at 06:28:14 MDT.
Majordomo sends the message at 06:26:43 MDT.
My host receives the message from xmission.com at 06:26:02 MDT.

So, the bottom line is:  I received the message three minutes
before Dan sent it!  Dang, computers are great, aren't they?

Actually, the time differences arise from the variances in each
of our machines' onboard clocks.  This particular message sped
right through the system.  Unfortunately, during the busier part
of the day I suspect that internet traffic combined with xmission's
processing load conspire to delay messages to some extent.
