My server antivirus send me everyday a scanning report by mail. Those email are
outdated: they are all dated to 10/10/1970 11:00.

When I use message grouping by date, those messages are in the "yesterday" group...

Oh I forgot to say I use Th 1.0 final french

Reproducible: Always

I have similary problems. The grouping does not work logically is some cases.
Eg. see the attached screenshot. Yesterday the 2nd and the 3rd mail was in the
Today section. Now, as you can see, the 3rd message moved to Last week section.

Why is that? How Thunderbird consider these times? Which time counts? Sent date?
Received date? Download date?

The screenshot was taken at 12.15 JST (GMT+9) on May 1, 2005, the first and the
third mail was sent from EU (GMT+2,DST) and the second from Mexico (GMT-7). I do
not know whether it is matters, but strange.

I cannot reproduce, but this funny grouping situation happens quite a lot of times.

My Thunderbird version is 1.0.2.

Sorry. I attached the patches to the wrong place. I opened a new bug for my
problem, and these files are the solution for that. Please, remove from here.

Its bug ID is 293742.

Sorry again.
