In fact, every e-mail client is technically capable of receiving messages from the future! Unfortunately, there are as of this writing no clients that can send messages into the past :( The archives go by the date header found in the e-mail. This is supposed to indicate the time that the e-mail was sent. So we are left with two options: * someone from the future is in need of python help and is sending messages back in time. * someone has their system clock set wrong.
