There should be some way to see all the headers (like Eudora's "blah blah" button). Then look at the "Received:" headers, which show which servers it passed through, with a timestamp. You can usually work out then if a message really did stall en-route of if someone's clock is off. (Most likely for three years the latter; but a while ago I received a batch of 3-month old mail that had not been forwarded as it should have, until they did some maintenance on the server.) Once I was with an ISP whose system clock was 10 minutes off -- they ignored me when I asked them to adjust it. It was annoying as when I sorted my mailboxes by date my replies were often listed before the message I had responded to. I later found a way to override it. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
