Just looked in my email spam box, I was looking for something I dropped in there by accident while trying to plop in an folder next to it. I noticed I have spam which claims to have arrived in 1977  I also have spam that allegedly arrived in my inbox in 2038 I can sort of understand someone sending you a message from the future, it will be at the top of your date-sorted email list until that year...But why date an email so far in the past? It will permanently sit at the bottom of someones email list, never being read unless said person decides to do a mass clear out, or is an email-tidy-freak like me who can't stand there being unread messages...

Some people here (in work) sort their e-mail by date in reverse order, so whenever they login they are taken to the oldest messages first.
I suppose the spammers have to cover all bases.

I suppose you're right... Who sorts their email by what? I sort mine by date, with the newest email at the top.

Same, it's always seemed the sensible option to me.

I sort me e-mail according to the sexiness of the sender.

So what happens when you get email from family?  Who do you find sexier then, your mum or your dad?

My parents do not qualify for my e-mail address.

Normally, sensibly sorted by date order- newest date at the top, except when I sort out all of the rubbish that my wife has not read or responded to and then it's by sender so that I can find everything together.
