David,

I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, your emails are coming in dates 12/31/69. The date in the email is
correct so it look like a sync issue. I often carry hundreds of email in my in box at a time and those dated in the
past are often missed. Others may be in the same boat. Thought you would like to know.

Thanks,
Michelle
