It's subliminal advertising, future spam for future products. So when you get to 2038 and those products are available and you see them you will be more likly to choose them then another company because you have seen it before but you wont remember it from such a long time ago.







JUST KIDDING.

No, why they really do it, is so when your e-mail i sorted by date, it'll stay up at the top. All the person has to do is change the date on there computer before they send it.

You guys are obviously just guessing.... It's really just Microsoft.... Everything leads back to Microsoft.... Them and Wal-Mart.... Probably a joint venture.

Bill Gates is an alien, didn't you know that? Remember Roswell? Well, they took his spacecraft back to Area 51 and he started his own company. The only reason the stupid ass thing crashed to begin with is because it was powered by Windows.

Honestly I think its because most e-mail clients sort e-mail by date, and if the spam said it arrived in 2038, then it will always be at the top of the list.

The real answer is seriously because most clients do sort by date, and the newest messages are normally at the top... you can't usually get any newer than the future... This is just a sign of things to come.... this should be pretty easy to block from a server standpoint though.... just make a Domain Processing Rule that says no mail newer than current time + 12 hours (depending on what timezone you're in) will be accepted. Case closed.
