I just received a PIC16F18446-XPRESS module and the sales order number on
its packing list matches one of the two strange emails I received.

I received an email on May 25 (the original "strange email" I wrote to this
list about) with the title:
Microchip Samples Order 1109336 Acknowledgement

I then received another on June 19th with the title:
Product Sample Order 30293899 Shipping Notification

The packing list with the sample I received today matches the number in the
title of this second, June 19th, email. I do not see the number from the
previous email anywhere.

Looking back at the list activity in March, I see that someone mentioned
that this free sample was available and I wrote a positive reply. I don't
clearly recall ordering one but I must have. It still doesn't explain the
long delay between when I would have ordered it (March) to when I got an
acknowledgement (late May) and the fact that this original order number is
nowhere to be found on what I received.
