Here's how it all went down. I've listed the "Received:" headers
in chronological order for ease of viewing. To be clear, this is
the *reverse* order from how they're typically seen in in a normal
listing of email headers.

The first "Received" header is when Google's mail system actually received
Howard's mail. Times are in PDT. As you can see, Google ingested his email
at 19:54 PDT, which is 21:54 CDT. Scan down to the last header, (when my email
service received the email), and you can see the whole delivery happened in 
under three seconds.
