237117 - 'Date' field in mail shows bogus date if 'Date:' fields is missing from mail.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73565

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Bgs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 MultiZilla/1.6.2.1d
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 MultiZilla/1.6.2.1d

When I receive a mail without an smtp Date: field, the mail always shows up at
the top of the listings with a 1970 date (0 unix timestamp). This is very
frustrating as some simple programs (fe. automatic sysreports) don't have this
field.

It should show the date from the First/Last Received: line in the mail. (IMHO)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Telnet to port 25
2. ehlo/mail from/rcpt to/data
3. .


Actual Results:  
Date of 1970.01.01.

Expected Results:  
Date of 2004.03.11.

An example mail that produced this problem:

Return-Path: <[e-mail]>
Delivered-To: [e-mail]
Received: (qmail 25925 invoked by uid 1001); 11 Mar 2004 13:19:55 -0000
Received: from unknown (HELO mail.bgs.hu) (195.228.254.245)
