Injecting the missing message afterwards will put it at the same level as its replies. If it happens only once in a while I guess we can live with it, but definitely not if it happens tens of times a day.

That is a very common scenario. And even without that, email taking
different time to get delivered to majordomo is not at all uncomoon.
