At least my wife isn't the only one, then.

O.K., then Kmail isn't reading the hardware clock for the date stamp.  But I 
thought Jan 1, 1970 was the beginning of Unix Time, so where does Dec 31, 
1969 4:00PM fit into the picture?  And why is all the mail from this one 
source stamped the same incorrect date by Kmail?  If the date can't be read 
in UnixSpeak, then the default date is stamped to the beginnning of Unix Time 
minus a few hours?   

Still no clues on how to fix this, or even what is causing the problem, but 
thanks for the insite, so far.
