- From the headers of your message, I see the following:

Date: Wed, 23 Apr 103 14:29:15 PDT

which I suspect is a not-quite-year-2000-compliant e-mail client. My client
cannot interpret that date, so it shows as "unknown". I suspect that the
person who complained about it being "1.1.70" has a client that cannot parse
this [invalid] date and thus returns a zero -- "zero" in [unix] time terms is
January 1st, 1970
