It's generally the calendar of the computer sending it to you that's put out of whack.
The email's date field will have whatever date is on the computer calendar if it's sent using an anonymous mail client. In fact, some anonymous mail clients even let you set the date yourself...
I've gotten emails from the 1970s before....
WTF is with the 2012 nonsense? And do't tell me "The Mayan Calendar", I want some real conspiracy theory proof that Agent Scully would have trouble denying!

On a couple of my old email addresses I get these all the time.
It is really annoying to, because (since they are year 2036) they are always at the top of all of your emails. I'm surprised some spam blockers don't pick up on that.

Ya'll are so funny. I never thought about the sender's calendar on their computer...interesting. Yea...what a great idea because you're right...all those emails were at the top of my spam list...brilliant! Yea...isn't the world ending in 2012 anyway? :ugone2far:
holy fuck boys, John Titor is from the year 2036. This isn't a coincidence people!

Shit! I just thought of the BEST scam ever!!!
Seriously, all you need is an anonymous mail client, a little mail-merge programming knowledge (I lack this part), an offshore account that's got anonymity or something like egold, and a sucker's list which I'm sure someone on BlackhatSEO will happily sell to you.
Anyways, What you do is you make a template email, and set the anonymous mail client to read off your mail merged DB their names, and their email addresses.
Here's the clever part: Use the anonymous mail program to use THEIR OWN EMAIL ADDRESS!!
Something like this:
Subject header: "You're note going to believe this"
Yes, I'm aware that's mathematically incorrect, but I figure anyone who's dumb enough to fall for this didn't pass highschool maths, and the number is large enough to be enticing, whilst small enough not to arouse suspicion over just needing to get out of a bad financial predicament.
Maybe dumb down the English a little ala Idiocracy, make it seem like language has evolved in the intervening years.
