The '2001' date problem occurs when READING mail using SM 1.4.1. So, the SENDER
(using some mail reader) has his system date set to the year 2001. He sends my
client a message. My client uses SM 1.4.1 to view that message, but it gets sorted
to the BOTTOM of the INBOX in SM 1.4.1 since the sender's date has the year 2001
in it EVEN THOUGH it was received by our mail server in 2003. Is the sender's
date/time stamp info used to display the date/time in the SM inbox? Or is the
date/time in the inbox the date/time that a message was received by our mail
server?

When read via SquirrelMail.

After looking into this a bit more, it seems like messages sent using JAWmail, the
other PHP web-based e-mail client we used to use, display in SM 1.4.1 with a
'December 31, 1969' date. Strange...
Thanks again for your help and for the ideas... :)
