293610 - Time stamps on emails displayed as from time zone GMT-6

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Quent]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317) French version

I am in zone GMT+1 (actual time is now GMT+2, summer time), set in Windows settings.

When I write or receive a message at i.e. 15:36 (+0200) it is shown in date/time
list as of 7:36 (-0600), idem in Date in full header (within TB).

Remarks:
1. I have done no modifications in any preferences (js variables or whatsoever,
user.js file does not exist)
2. I have tried writing a new email and saving it as draft, result is the same,
so smtp, pop, imap server interference
3. When I save email in external file as .eml, date stamp is normal
(Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 15:36:24 +0200), so it looks as a display issue within TB 
4. Coincidence or not, it so occurs that GMT-6 is the US...

I haven't found any similar issue in bug list, I shouldn't be the only one in
that case though, probably a hardcoded variable hidden somewhere.

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
