User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031030

If you right-click the date/time section in the preview pane or message window
all of the menu's items (except "Select all") are right-aligned when they should
be left aligned.

I couldn't find this bug already reported, and I think it's been present for
quite some time so I assume no-one's noticed it?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message in the mail client
2. Right-click the date/time field in the preview pane or full-blown message window
3. Look at the items in the pop-up/context menu

Actual Results:  
Menu items are right-aligned

Expected Results:  
Menu items should be left-aligned

This is true for Brief Headers display, probably because the date field itself 
is displayed there with right-alignment.

Urgh. As comment #2 noticed, with the preview pane bar is closed, right-clicking
in any spot on it (*not* the date/time one) brings up the "good aligned" menu;
while right-clicking on the date/time section brings up the "bad aligned" menu.
When the preview pane bar is open, however, the date/time section becomes
left-aligned and right-clicking on it always brings up the "good aligned" menu.

Fortunately for this bug this appears to be the only right-aligned textbox
currently existing in the Mozilla codebase. However a more general solution
should be considered for future proofing.
