Possibly that you provided too much information. It took me a while to
read through and work out exactly where your email was going. Try and
stick to the absolute minimum to explain what does/doesn't work.

One approach that I have seen people use is to use a short summary of
the problem at the beginning ("short story") followed by a detailed
analysis ("long story").

I suspect more likely the latter. I did read your post, as I'm sure
others did, but no answers jump out at me. I'll reply now with some
thoughts but no answers.
