I think his clock and date are OK, but his date header is using 
a format that confuses MSOutlook.

For example - the problem message that looks "postdated" has 
these headers:

   Received: by mail.corporate.co.nz from localhost
       (router,SLMail V3.2); Thu, 30 Nov 2000 16:26:02 -1200
   Date:  Thu, 30 Nov 2000 17:22:31 New Zealand Daylight Time

which is probably the "correct" time.

But when MSOutlook displays this message it doesn't know how 
to interpret the "New Zealand Daylight Time" stuff so it assumes 
this date is UTC.   Then it converts the date to your local time
to display it.  In effect that makes it 13 hours later.

MSOutlook would display it correctly if instead of having 
the "New Zealand Daylight Time" his header looked this:

   Date:  Thu, 30 Nov 2000 17:22:31 +1300

(another friday off to an early start ...)

Your e-mail's date reveals that your PC's date runs a day ahead!!
