Only if you turn on the archive "clobber dates" option.  It's probably
set to trust dates.

2.1 has some more flexibility to allow you a middle of the road "trust
dates, unless they're obviously set by an insane lunatic."

The Digests should fine, since they just accumulate messages until
the time since last digest or digest too big triggers go off.  Now
if *your* machine was briefly in 2004, then you set it back, you might
be in trouble, cause your digest probably wouldn't trip until the size got too
big.
