	Well, your date line showed:

Date: Thu, 26 Sep 1996 20:56:50 -0700 (MST)

	So, if you are in the Mountain Standard Timezone....and if it is
starting to get dark outside.....then you time shows 8:56PM.  Sounds
about right to me..

No, that was not in the Date: line, that was at the end of the Path:.
There was a Date: line too, which showed 21:00:00 or something.

My wild guess at what is happening:

Your (Patricia's) Date: header is first in your message. There is an
error in whatever program generates the original "Path:" header, such
that it does not end in an end-of-line, and therefore your original
Date: header ends up on the end of the Path: line.

A little later, your message will be transfered to the server, which
will believe there is no Date: in your message, and generate its own.

Possibly the starting Path: is in a file somewhere, and someone has
used an editor which does not automatically put EOL characters at the
end of a file (I recall xedit doesn't, at least.) Ask your system
administrator to fix this.

Greetings,
Ørjan.

	Try not to say "no" too quickly.  It is more approriate to say
something along the lines of "that is not what I'm seeing".

	I'm telling you what I see.  I've attached the full message
from Patricia which showed up in my mail.  I don't normally read the
newsgroup but read the gatewayed email.

	So, to me, everything looks fine....and I dare say the header
show it.

	Regards,

		Ed

Excuse me while I remove this foot from my mouth.. I didn't see that
the message was coming through the mailing list.

There _is_ an error though, causing the original Date: header to merge
with the news Path: header. I guess it is in the pine-info ->
comp.mail.pine gateway. It appears in your message as well.
My wild guess about a file missing the last EOL character still stands.

As for Patricia's original problem, I don't know.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
