`mutt' is program that receives date from system date. Nothing wrong with it alone. You cannot blame computer program for doing what is instructed. Programs know the time we gave to them. A server for mailing list is much more important program than single MUA. Mailing list solves communication of many people. Such computer is always online and can easily synchronize time with Internet servers. In my opinion central computer that manages mailing lists should recogniz if time of users is far in future and handle it appropriately. Maybe re-writing time with explanation in e-mail header would be more appropriate. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
