Snail Mail?

Postby Kucing » Mon 09 Jun, 2003 12:22 am

Last week, I’ve received an e-mail from my cousin asking me to buy some souvenir for him while I having my vacation. I was confused because I hadn’t planned to go oversee or so in the near future. Then I noticed that the date on the e-mail was sent in December 2002, which was almost six months from now. This is weird though. :?
That e-mail sure was the longest time travel e-mail I had ever received.

Just curious though, have anyone have had e-mails that took longer still?

It is possible that your cousin did not actually sent you that email. The recently famous worm?

The time and date you should check is the full header information, the Received bit, it will indicate where the mail has been through.

I did checked with him and he also confirms it. Although I did receive some false e-mail before, they usually didn’t contain the first name or nickname.
