does this happen to anyone else?

sometimes i get junk mail that arrives in my inbox with the wrong date. i think the junk mail people do this so that i have to go to the very beginning of my inbox (which contains emails from 2003; i am not a very tidy inbox keeper) in order to delete it. most of the emails are dated a year or two ago, and some of them are even dated from like ( Read more... )

Hmmmm. 1980? I was just about 20 and making money hand over fist- I should have INVESTED in Microsoft- if I had, I would be flying all of my LJ friends to the Chalet!!

I hate when spammers do that because then I have to search through all of my email to find the out of date email.

According to wikipedia, the net was in a rudimentary form since the late 50s/early 60s, although it was a private thing...the actual internet didn't even get its first TCP/IP network until January 1983...more info here:

and Spam sucks!

you are a fountain of information, and you have helped prove my thesis that spammers suck! not that that really needed proving, of course.

hmmmm . . . so that's why I can't find the new message in my inbox. I didn't bother to look further back than the first page, but now I'm intrigued and maybe I will.

i know, for a long time i had something like 8 unread messages and i had no idea where they were. they weren't in my Trash box or anything. then i checked the very beginning of my inbox and there they were, a bunch of emails apparently sent in the mid 90s.

The internet has been around in one form or the other since the late 60s.

I'm thinking your spammers don't have their date set. Or just their zombie computers.

i think they do it on purpose TO MESS WITH MY MIND.

sterlingphoenix January 28 2007, 03:48:10 UTC

I don't think they're smart enough to be doing that...
