It was from an external (ie over the Internet) source, and I reiterate there is no possibility of it being a clock issue, because there is no question that the eMail was one in a sequence of questions and answers in Nov 2002 or whenever it was, and it was received today (er looks at watch) yesterday, by someone coming off leave, so presumably delivered to our mail server on 7/1 as announced.
Anyway, it amused me
