It is better to cc the mailing list as this kind of information would help others help solve your problem.

Sorry, I do not think I can be of much help as I never encountered this sort of problem, perhaps due to my own inability to distinguish the terms mRNA, sample, tissue. But there are many other people on the list who have better appreciation of biology and hopefully one of them could advise you. Could you give us the link to this message you are talking about.
