Is it just me or are all the Topic Reply Notification Emails from Neowin dated 12/31/1969 7:00PM? I'm only having this problem with emails from Neowin.

Well it's my mail server on one of my machines and the date is set right on it. Plus like I said, this only is happening to Neowin emails. I guess if I'm the only one with the issue though it must be something on my end.

It could be on neowin's side. If the email goes from neowin straight to your mail server, the date on their server could be off.

Only Neowin's mail has a missing date in header flag. And Thunderbird just reports the date as 12/31/1969 7:00PM for all of them.

hmm have you tried in other mail clients or webmail? :/ try a few things that may cause this from your point. from what i have read it works fine for other users so its not likely to be a neowin problem.

I never blamed Neowin, I asked if anyone else had the same problem then I said...

I guess if I'm the only one with the issue though it must be something on my end.

although it is odd this is only happening with emails from Neowin.

heh sorry. well it is most likely to be a thunderbird issue now. anyways, you got it solved that's important. i guess you should just cancell neowin emails and check neowin everytime.

Did Neowin recently change the fields they use to send out mail? Checking some of the previous emails I got they had the correct dates and it's only in the last few days where the date field was missing. I've found out that the 12/31/1969 date is the date Thunderbird will put when there is no date field in the header of the email, most email clients (such as OE) will put the current date instead.
