No I'm afraid that it doesn't matter what the date is, they all show up as 
thu Jan 1 00:59:59 1970 and always have done. The address@hidden bounce came 
with the correct date. Now with Kmail I have the choice of, 'Fancy', 
'Brief', 'Standard', 'Long' and 'Full' Headers, none of which, as most of 
them with other emails, gives a date or time stamp. Standard, with other 
emails gives no time/date stamp, and Full headers, with other emails gives 
a time stamp some minutes and seconds and 4 hours less, different from, 
the date/time shown in the folder, probably the time it arrives at the 
server for my domain name which is in the USA. The 'Long' headers which my 
mail is set to only gives the 1970 date/time stamp.
