Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100301 Eudora/3.0.1

In the main window, looking at email in one of my local folders, the date shows as 10/18/2092.
If I open the email, the date on the top right shows as 9/12/1956 12:30 AM
The date is probably really Sep 12, 2001, because it's a reply to an email someone else sent on Wed, Sep 12, 2001, 3:13 AM. 

In another one, the date shows as 10/17/2092.
If I open the email, the date on the top right shows as 9/11/1956 12:30 AM
Due to the subject matter, I think the message was probably sent Sep 11, 2001

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch Eudora.
2.Navigate to the folder.
3.Look at the index of emails.
4.Choose the "latest" one and open it.
Actual Results:  
Note the date of the email. Two emails have dates in the year 2092. If you open them, the date on the top right does not match the date in the index nor what I think is the actual date.

Expected Results:  
The one dated 10/18/2092 in the index and 9/12/1956 when you open it should have a date of 9/12/2001 (estimated).

The one dated 10/17/2092 in the index and 9/11/1956 when you open it should have a date of 9/11/2001 (estimated).


This happened during the transition from Eudora 7 to (Thunderbird + Eudora) 8.

The folder in which the mail resides is a subfolder of a local folder.

I'm using the default theme.

My guess is that this is a general Thunderbird issue, and not specific to Eudora.

What is the exact text in the "Date:" header of those messages when you do a View->Message Source?  What happens if you install Thunderbird 3.0.1 (the corresponding TB version of the Eudora beta that you're running) and look at the messages using it?  Do you get the same problem?

As a side note, a noteworthy original date to be the one that got corrupted.

You can also attach here one of this "malformed" email using above "Add an attachment" link (first use menu-->file-->save as-->file and save it on your desktop for example)

thanks for your feedback
