160911 - Incorrect date shown on some Mac.com IMAP messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 132779

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Anthony Graham]

I have some recent messages in my inbox that show up with an incorrect date
(12/31/69). Viewing mail with another client (OS X Jaguar Mail.app) shows the
correct date.

I've pasted the headers of some sample messages below.

Sample bad message:

Dear iTools member,

Today we announced .Mac, pronounced "Dot Mac," that replaces the Apple iTools 
service. In the two and a half years since we introduced iTools, both the 
demand for Internet services and the cost of providing them has increased 
dramatically. As a result, we're no longer able to offer iTools for free. 
Instead, we are introducing a new paid membership program that will allow us 
to continually enhance and expand our Internet services offerings for our 
customers.

Hey, you're right. I still have one of those ".mac" spams from Apple and it has
a date of 12/31/1969. However, it's because Apple sent those without a Date header.

Thus, this is a dup of bug 132779.
