[plug] strange e-mail dates

[Aunty Jack]

No, they weren't

There was a whole raft of about 10 in the one download - from various senders,
then 2 more instances where only one of the messages was from the future. There
didn't appear to be any patter to them. I've lost which ones they were exactly
now, as the present has caught up with them so they just blend in . . .

I'll take particular note of any further instances. Kmail doesn't give very
good indication of how it's sorting the messages in any case - maybe its a
weird Kmail problem ??
