couple of his messages in the archives for the year 2033!

if the system clock on the machine that creates the mail is wrong, so is the date in the archive.

I'm not sure I'd agree that it's a feature...

neither am I. we may change that. But there's always the philosophical question of overriding what a user puts in their email, since it IS their email. list servers DO make changes by definition, but at the same time, you want to only change what you feel is necessary for the common purposes. and besides, wouldn't it be better if these end users FIXED THEIR SYSTEMS? (grin)

The Date stamp on the message the list sends should be the time on the server that sends the mail. The date stamp of the original sender is irrelevant. The date on your own server is the only number you can really trust.


It doesn't matter to me since any message I receive with a time-stamp more than 24 hours off gets the timestamp fixed to the time I received the message.

But with the upcoming features of Tiger and local search, easy download of archives becomes a key, and that also was a factor.

We await Jun 2005 with bated breath, and pray it will be sooner. :)
