252508 - Date format on printed output does not match date/time in message list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294356

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Tom White]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 0.7.2, downloaded installer

The date/time format on the printed or print preview version of the email uses
the "Date" header from the email, which does not match what is in the message
list. There should be someway to put the message list time (which is converted
to local time zone) on the printout. Even as a header/footer would be at least
usable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compare date/time in message list to printed for message originating in
another time zone.

This bug also appears with Thunderbird 1.0 on Linux (build 20041206)
Message sample header (extract) : 

---- cut here ----
User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2106
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 1904 23:58:53 +0100
Subject: Hi everybody
---- cut here ----

The message list shows this in the date column: "08.02.2040 06:27"
The print preview shows: "Sat, 02 Jan 1904"

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
