That is how you know your old crap software test message works.  You get the welcome love letters from the Netherlands.

Back when I started running a BBS in the early 80s, it was on an Apple //c that didn't have an internal clock.  My messages on the BBS had no date or time until eventually there was an external clock option for the //c.  I bought that just so I could get time/dates on the BBS messages.
