 * Here you go. What’s interesting is that the date on the email notifications is
   correct.

 * There should be error messages in your server logs if you are getting “temptitle”
   messages.

 * Can you send a sample email directly from the original sender (please don’t forward
   as it significantly alters the email internals) to [test@postieplugin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-date-13/test@postieplugin.com?output_format=md)
   
   Please leave a note here when you’ve done that.

 * Looks like the mailer is not sending the date header according to the email spec.
 * Your email has:
 *     ```
       Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:39:03 -0400 (GMT-04:00)
       ```
   
 * Which should be:
 *     ```
       Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2016 14:39:03 -0400
       ```
   
 * I’ve added some code to the next version of Postie to work with this invalid 
   date format.

 * OK. Thanks. I’ll try another mailer that uses that format in the meantime
