These inaccurate dates are showing on my most recent bulk mail messages, presumably no older than the last couple of days. The 2008 messages use the current month and day. The more recent 2038 messages do not.
When one looks at a mail list, one sees the sender, the subject and the date. I always thought that the senders e-mail provider affixed the date, like a time stamp, on the e-mail as it is sent.
How can this be so wildly inaccurate, and should we be concerned?
