What happened was that at various times I have noticed computer behavior
that past experience has shown indicates an incipient crash, in which
case I tend to lose whatever message I am currently working on or trying
to send. On such occasions I will queue messages, reboot, and then send
any unsent messages. I just forgot to send the messages in the Outbox
from last Friday, then it happened again this morning, and they all got
sent at once.
Sorry.
