..and then you get people like Guido, who have their system clock set 3
days in advance of their real local time...there's a real time-warp :))

Yerrrrrr, get a real email client. What do you expect when you use ancient
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.77 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) to take care of your

Now I just have to make word-wrap behave responsibly...
