For instance this was sent on the 21st of Jan, and when I check the archives, it says the 20th. I guess I'm one of the culptits. It doesn't seem to be in 3-D however. How does one tell?

> Wow... what is mail from the future like? Is it 3-D? In the future, string theory has been proven to be correct, so the universe is known to have 11 dimensions. E-mail, therefore, is usually 6D, unless you're using Outlook 2001, which uses a proprietary, 4D RTF format. This is a hangover from shortly after the Justice Department-mandated splitup of Microsoft, into a passel of companies which became known as "Baby Ballmers", named after the CEO at the time of the split. Another pertinent fact about the future is that James Newton's proposal for the use of [TO] to mark offtopic messages has become an international standard, as embodied in RFC-70223. This innovation is widely credited as having directly contributed to the onset of the so-called "worldwide mailing list peace", as list members everywhere, finally having a standard to adhere to, began consistently labelling their offtopic posts. A persistent urban legend about the [TO] proposal actually having been due to a mishap with a spellchecker, are considered little more than a mean-spirited attempt to sully the name of a widely-celebrated and legendary moderator. These baseless myths are unlikely to affect the Nobel committee's deliberations in Stockholm this year. > {Original Message removed}
