274622 - mail comes from 1969 when "Date:" header is absent

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73565

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Federico Lucifredi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Thunderbird ----> version 1.0 (20041206)

Mail messages missing the "date header" appear in the main window with date
"12/31/1969 7:00pm" (this was observed when receiving mail digests from the
netfilter mailing list).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.subscribe to netfilter list at lists.netfilter.org
2.set mode to digest
3.wait for your twilight zone email to arrive

Actual Results:  
I receive my daily mail digest, dated 1969 according to Thunderbird. Headers in
the message are all dated 2004, but no explicit "date" header is present there.

Expected Results:  
I would suggest we use the date of delivery to the first or last mail server
instead.

since you are should not need to subscribe for this, I am including a sample
message below (cut after a few lines of text, it is a DIGEST after all...kinda
longish!):

Hello!

I want to mark all outgoing traffic depending on its service.
Example:

eth0 = 192.168.0.1 (local interface)
