Date: is just a header - meaning the user can specify it, just like
To:, Subject: or Cc:. It need not be correct.

The date inside the mail (on the Date: header) was for February.
Since spam is junk there is no reason to expect this date to be valid,
spammers frequently use future or past dates to end up at the top or the
bottom of the in tray and thus more prominent and more likely to be read.
