Subject: Re: Old articles keep coming back

Re my previous post, I've noticed a most curious thing.  The full header
of a very old article is as follows:

Two points of interest.  First, the "X-Received-Date" is about the same
as the posting date (give or take timezone differences, although I've no
idea why MST in the former) which is over three years ago!  Secondly,
the "X-Newsreader" is TP version 5.01 which I haven't used for a very
long time (and it's a Universal licence which I've not had!).

From time to time (at least every week), I use the "rebuild database"
feature so any old messages should have disappeared completely anyway.

Any explanations gratefully received

Adrian
