Wow, that's really odd! I hadn't noticed it, and all my other messages came 
with the right date. I also checked the header from that same message and it 
had all the right dates IN it, so I have no idea how that got screwed up.

Looking back at Marion's original message header, the one I was quoting from, I 
see that it shows a send date of 2120, but I have no idea how that morphed into 
2020 in my message. My Pegasus email software may not be written to accommodate 
dates past 2049 or 2099. It looks like Marion may have a mis-set year on his 
computer. I also looked back at a message Marion sent the list before the 
Invasion, and it had the correct date.

I understand that there are official internet standards for date formats for 
email, but that some email software violates those standards. This can 
sometimes cause problems like this. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
