I'm now seeing dates from 4 January as 2021, those of 3 January and
before as 2020.  It is almost as though some piece of software thinks the
year begins on 4th Jan, not 1st Jan.

Here's a short section of my inbox, with mails from various time zones

Thanks for the suggestion, but my year display is of all 4 digits (a Y2K
problem veteran :-).

I admit I'm mystified as to what exactly could be causing this.
