The reason is the second one.
I remember when one Sophos specialist told about this trend about two years ago in  a security conference in Finland.
But the number, 30 of 200 is remarkable large.

I just checked the Bulk Mail folder on my Yahoo! Mail account and was
surprised to see quite a few messages in it, all spam, with a date in
the year 2035. About 30 of 200-something e-mails had this date, others
were in 2006.
Is this a bug in Yahoo! Mail somehow or is it a spammer trick to try to
get to the top of a date-sorted view?
