I am hoping that someone can solve this puzzle for me.
OK, I am sitting at my computer last evening (1/21) reading some of the posts on the BCF. While doing this, I get an audible alert from my Outlook (not express) that an email has arrived.
I then go to my “In Box” to read it, but I do not see it at the top of the list (chronologically). My next step is to scroll down the email list since my inbox shows “1 unread message”. Low and behold I find it further down the list, and it shows “Received 1/4/10”. Wait… it gets much better.
Attached to this email is another <span style="font-weight: bold">unrelated</span> email that is displayed all in raw code. Both emails are totally unrelated and come from two different senders.
So, how can I get an email that shows “Received 1/4/10” on 1/21/10? And why was the other email co-mingled with it?
<span style="text-decoration: underline">One email, two different senders, two different send dates?</span> Really!
 
Sounds like someone sending you a virus (The raw code). The date was just spoofed. The second email (with the code) was attached to the first as a file attachment. So it was one person sending you another email as an attachment.
 
No, I don't think so Basil...
Email number 1 came from Hagerty Ins. talking about the Scottsdale auction.
Email number 2 came from an ebay seller responding to a question I had sent earlier in the day.
I did run my virus scan and nothing!
If you want to see it, just pm me.

I guess ecoli happens :whistle:
 
Thank goodness for that.
 
I have received an email that was sent to me a year ago. No idea where it sat for that long.

I have also received emails that were sent to an aol address and at that time I had no aol address.
 
Weird.... trapped inna ether? :jester:

Are ya sure the year-old one was actually sent a year ago, or alternately the system clock of the sender's mail server may have been corrupted? We've seen that more'n once.

The aol thing is likely something where the sender was just "stabbing" at addresses. Yahoo, gmail and hotmail would be other accounts you could have and get the same missive.
