    Well, I guess there's more than one way to do things.  But personally
I'm not as concerned about the archive as I am about smooth/quick play.  As
long as we can find a way to make sure that this information (that Player X
is on the clock) does not get buried in a lengthy email, that's fine by me.

    Actually, as I look at my incoming emails (with Outlook Express) I do
not see the time/date stamp at all (unless I reply to the message).  So
perhaps as a service to those of us using crappy Microsoft products, people
would be willing to write the time they are sending the email within the
email itself.
