- 'Smart Folders'(?) switched off
- In Local folders, select an email with cc line 
- Click on another account
- select an email in it
- in the 'right-lower' pane, email preview shows 'proper' selected email, but with cc line info from previously selected email in Local Folders

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'Smart Folders'(?) switched off
2. In Local folders, select an email with cc line 
3. Click on another account
4. select an email in it
5. in the 'right-lower' pane, email preview shows 'proper' selected email, but (for some emails - notably spam ones) with cc line info from previously selected email in Local Folders
Actual Results:  
can also show reply-to line when that info is in the select Local Folders email

Expected Results:  
no info from 'other'/previous selected email from another (Local Folders) email

it seems to be just SOME emails (like spam!) that show info from another email. 
e.g. this email (in specific folder) shows a 'cc' line from Local Folders email
nb email address slightly munged by changing '@' to '9@9'

Anything in Tools -> error console ?

Does this issue also happens when you start Thunderbird in safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?

Comment 2

[brewmanz]

Yes there is a line in error console (actually lots of lines, but after clearing I get ...):
---------------
Error: currentHeaderData.date is undefined
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js
Line: 968
==============

Yes, this problem also occurs in 'Safe Mode'

Attachment: patch with test, v1

This patch also fixes an incorrect dump statement in another test in the same file.
