Which date are you looking at? The threaded index
(http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/) and by-date index
(http://www.lam-mpi.org/MailArchives/lam/bydate.php) do not show the dates
-- only the individual message pages have dates shown on them.

The dates that show up under search.iu.edu results may show the date that
the pages were actually written, which may well have been all this year
(our sysadmin sometimes tweaks things or we sometimes change the back-end
style of the pages, and therefore re-write the entire set of web archived
pages from backups). Not much we can do about that, short of parsing all
the pages to find their message sent dates and re-touching every file with
the correct timestamp. I also don't know how search.iu.edu would react if
all the timestamps suddenly moved backwards in time...
