Yes, but, if the server can't read the timestamp correctly, it defaults to January 1, 1970. This happened to my mail sent to a friend's misconfigured UNIX box. The time stamp on all my mails was midnight, January 1, 1970 (unix rollover time), MINUS the time zone from GMT. Hence, all my mails were stamped with an 3:59PM, Wednesday, December 31, 1969. GMT minus my time zone - Pacific time is 8 hours BEHIND GMT (or his, we are in the same time zone). I'm the only one sending e-mail to him from a unix-like system, and mine was the only one timestamped that way. I don't know what he did, but he finally got it fixed on his end. So, is the time and date GMT minus the time zone you live in? I hope you find this little bit of trivia interesting and maybe even helpful. e. e.
