I noticed that the receive DATE is way off in Email I recieve via FIDONet!

The dates come accross from 2061!

Local mail is not affected and shows the correct date/time.

Has anyone seen this before?

That is a strange one, but no. I have never seen that before.

Check to make sure your locale in Workbench is set correctly. I seem to recall issues with my system at first with zip not working and other strange things. When I set the locale correctly all the issues I was having went away..

Local seems correct.

Date and time on the Amiga are also correct.

Hey I'm getting that too, in fact all the dates are whacked, not in order, etc. It's worked that way since I started trying to get FTNs to work. It does appear that some amiganet echoes come in in order with a variety of formats, but looks like chronilogical, but most Fidonet echoes are screwy like Rug Rat said. K-Guide do you know why?

Thanks

You are indeed correct on this issue. I just tested by sending a netmail from my Mystic system to this point system and the date stated July 27, 2061.. I will post on Futureworld also saying what is going on..

Yes, you are indeed not insane.. LOL What shocks me is this has never been found. Unless this is a BinkD issue that is putting the wrong date on the messages..

Not likely simply for the fact that e-mail sent to a non C-Net board does not have this issue.
