I did a test changed the recipient to myself and put it through and
checked it with Outlook express. Message gets sorted correctly in OE
so it has no problems with this message what so ever.
However my normal mail client (The Bat!) show this message as being
created "4 Jan 2017, 01:52"
Some of those numbers I surely wounder how it came up but some of them
I can see how it got. 2017 17 must be from the time 17:31:52, 01:52 is
the part from 17:31:52.
Interesting.. reminds me why I started to sort messages based on
received time. And also explains why I seen these odd created dates in
The Bat! but never been able to understand how it got that after
looking closer on the headers. This surely explains it.
