311898 - Incorrect date displayed in main mail window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73565

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Frank]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0.7 (20050923)

Many emails in my inbox have the date/time stamp listed as 01/01/1970 00:00

They are all system generated emails from a software agent written by one of 
our developers. He does not think the problem lies with his code as they 
display properly in OE 6

An example of the message source code is below. The same problem does not 
happen in Outlook Express V6

V/dupe.

I really disagree with the assertion that the sending server is behaving correctly because Outlook accepted the content.

I'd agree with the idea that: Thunderbird or Seamonkey:MailNews should parse it, because Outlook parsed it.

I was working in an environment recently, where .NET was used to produce Date headers, and it produced headers that only worked w/ Microsoft clients.
