WHY DOES CuD SUBJECT/FROM/DATE LINE SOMETIMES NOT MATCH THE REAL DATE?
ANSWER 17: In order to be read by most mailers as a digest, posts must be divided by a marker (i.e., a space and a series of dashes) and three lines indicating From:, Subject:, and Date:. We often must add these manually, because they may not be included properly in the original post, or we may not receive the posts in electronic form. When reposting articles from other sources, we try when possible to use the author in the From: line (rather than the moderators) to allow respondants to communicate directly with the original author by (on Unix) hitting “r” or “R”. When a poster requests anonymity, we change both the From: and Date: lines.
