Thanks both of you.  I can't believe that I scanned the headers so many times 
and missed that.  I doubt if it will make any difference, but I will comment 
on the problem to the sender - or is it the sender, that's causing it?  
because this is not the only date problem I have.

I get security alerts from my Netgear router, and they displayed as expected 
until 1st July (IIRC) when they suddenly started showing the date as one month 
ahead.  I ignored it, really, up to now, but of course from this week, one 
month ahead puts me into next year.  To my surprise, though, they started 
showing the 010170 date.  On examination, is see the same problem as in the 
previous post:

Date: Thu,3 (null) 2009 01:00:00 -0000 (GMT Daylight Time)

whereas the last day of November, it showed

Date: Mon,30 Dec 2009 20:56:19 -0000 (GMT Daylight Time)

The first message in this thread was about an external message, passing 
through the Netgear router and my imap server.  The other two were initiated 
by the router, passing through the imap server only.  The router config files 
show the correct date.  The imap server handles all other mail that displays 
correctly.  It looks, then, as though it is a firmware problem on the router.  
Yet if that is so, why is external mail, from one company only, affected?

I've been puzzling over this for months, so I'd really be glad of any insight.
