Can't tell what the miscommunication might be... But your example
works fine here in D7 with IBO 4.8.5, with or without the persistent

1. I'm sending this msg from the web interface because for some
reason my reply via email client didn't get through.

2. If by "miscommunication" you mean that Jason hasn't replied even

expect an instant reply, as Jason and family are currently engaged in
a long-distance house move.
