I believe this may be the thread you want in Get Satisfaction: http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/but_when_did_the_sender_say_it

If not, what happens when you reply to an ordinary (non-.EML) message? Was the original message actually sent at 8:59 PM?

dup of bug 544359?

Comment 3

[Bernd]

Replying to any other non-.EML shows the original date/time as wished.

I sent various mails with different dates. Always same results.

E.g.:
Original date:

02 Mar 2008 16:01:37
Replied to an email: remains

Replied to same email as .EML:

"Am 20:59, schrieb xxxxxx:" 
(engl.: "on 20:59, wrote [name]"

Config: mailnews.reply_header_type 2

The original message source doesn't contain "20:59"

Could the beaviour caused by the translation (german)?

Yes, it's a dup. Same behaviour.

Marking duplicate per comment #4.

Another idea I had is to check mailnews.reply_header_ondate to see if it contains a %s anywhere (as it ought to).
