DM: Yes, I agree. :) What I was referring to was the email being
represented as such. My first guess as to cause would have been an
incorrectly set system time in BIOS or elsewhere, but that likely
would usually result in an 'old date' much more recent than 1969 (i.e.
the default), unless it was purposefully manually set 'wrong' by
someone. ---Dustin
