Cobwebed Email

So I get this email the otherday from a friend of mine from High School who since has gotten married, moved out here to Seattle then moved back to the east coast. The only problem is in the email he is describing how he and wife who are recently married cant wait to move out to Seattle. So a little digging in the mail headers reveals a massive time jump from Sept 26 2001 to when the email actually hit my mail server on Dec. 30 2003. My guess is that the message sat in his outbox (the mailer type is outlook) probably due to bunk smtp server settings and just recently got flushed.

When my mail server recieved it:

Received: by gir.seattlewireless.net (Postfix, from userid 1018)
id 15DBB70F14; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:43:35 -0800 (PST)

When it hit their outbound SMTP server:

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:40:03 -0800 (PST)
Received: (qmail 23558 invoked from network); 30 Dec 2003 20:39:47 -0000
