[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
It is and I did, but the emacs with the issue is not configured for gnus/mail yet so I was reporting from my 64bit emacs instead .  After seeing it includes by default a lot of personal information such as the last few things I typed and my home paths I just deleted the info it auto added as it was not relevant to the bug.

It seems to be a year 2038 bug in the encode - time function, but eww should gracefully handle vs just failing when it happens.

Is your Emacs a 32-bit executable?

More generally, please use "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" to report all
the details about your Emacs and the underlying OS features.
