Some thoughts:
I think it's safe to assume this person wants this to be an interesting puzzle,
not impossible, so I doubt e tried to actively insert red herrings, so I'm
inclined to believe that anything that seems like a valid clue probably is.
The Date: header is in UTC-8.
The message looks to have been sent via Gmail's web client, so we don't have a

Looking at some recent promises, there seems to be a divide between players
formatting them
{
Like this.
}
and players formatting them
{
Like this.
}
That could narrow things down.
10 boatloads is currently 62 coins; everyone has more than that, so it doesn't
narrow things down at all.
This person seems to use - as a bullet, not *.
