Curious dating behavior in PMMail 2000

[Michael Baum]

This
isn't  particularly 
debilitating or anything 
and I only pass it along for its amusement value.

I have
this one 
correspondent who's 
ISP has deliberately set the 
date on their Sun Unix server back 
28 years to save the trouble and cost of 
actually fixing some Y2K bug. No, swear to God
I'm not making this up. When you open one of his messages, 
the date window "correctly" reports a day in 1972. On  the whole 
you'd kind of exepct his mail to all sort to the bottom of a folder sorted by 
message date, but in that context (a folder display, that is) the year is reported 
as 3872, so in fact they all sort to the top.

Curious.
