Was working on an email archiving project that had e-mail from the
1950's that was archived.
So what happened is that a bunch of documents had been scanned in the
1980's into a Wang system. This Data was then converted into a
Digital All-In-1 Email System. The easy way to do it was to keep the
Document date as the Send date.
That system was converted to Exchange and then that data archived into
EmailXtender.
That really confused the tech support people when we had some problems
reading the old image formats back.
