(When we curate something, admins get an email version of the post immediately, then everyone else who’s subscribed to curated gets the email after a 20 minute delay. Sometimes we notice a formatting problem with the email, un-curate during the 20 minute window, then re-curate it; that’s what happened in this case.)
