Looking at the headers from that message:

It look as though the author sent it on Sat, 29 Oct 2005 09:22:58 -0400 (EDT)
I received it on Sat, 29 Oct 2005 08:23:07 -0500 (CDT)

The Date: header is made up in the source computer while the Received: headers are put there by a server with a more reliable clock.

Your User-Agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.1.0.040913  probably has a way to view the extra headers that are often suppressed but, it is Micro$oft so I can't tell you how.

Note that the original message was prepared by Eudora for Windoze and it probably created the Date header, 21 June, from the system clock in the computer.
