Eudora may display a bogus date if you format the timestamp wrong or
mismatch day/date and try to rebuild the TOC (file or resource fork)
from the mailbox.
That timestamp is supposed to mark the time that message was added to
that mbox file. In a Unix mbox, the ???@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
will have the envelope
sender address of the message, which Eudora cannot really determine
reliably.
