It was just a hypothetical situation. Someone else's situation led me to wonder about it.

I'm not sure about email. I've done this myself from time to time and people are usually able to see it.

@dribblingpensioner - while I can't know sseuja's reason, a lot of people like to backdate posts so that they appear in the correct chronological order or so that they 'fall back' out of view - depending on whether they want them to be seen or not! :)

For further clarity, by "backdate a post when publishing" I mean publish a post at an earlier date than the date of the post's initial (draft) writing.
