267646 - The date in the message list is the send date of the sender

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 216033

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Marco Vadrucci]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040911 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

Messages in Mozilla Thunderbird have the sender's date in them, not the
receiver's pop server's one, like in Outlook Express. I'm not sure it's really a
bug... maybe an added option about whether display the sender's date or the
receiver's date whould solve the problem right. The way it is now, it's possible
to send a message with false date and time... there are issues with messages
received from different time zone too

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Simply send to yourself a message with the computer time wrongly set, for
example 3 months earlier
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the message is received, but it's reported as a 3 months old message

Expected Results:  
it should have put the correct date, taking it from the added header of the pop
server.
