WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100608 Thunderbird/3.1. What version are you experiencing this issue with ?

Have you tried safe mode? (see https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode for more information)

Fails for me in Safe Mode with 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100430 Fedora/3.0.4-3.fc13 Thunderbird/3.0.4

Matej is this a Redhat distro specific bug ?

Comment 5

[Paolo Bonzini]

No, I could reproduce it with the 32-bit thunderbird download from Mozilla.  Seems to be fixed in 3.1 then.

Comment 6

[Paolo Bonzini]

Still present in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100921 Fedora/3.1.4-1.fc13 Thunderbird/3.1.4

Still fails with Thunderbird/5.0.  Can anybody confirm this?

Comment 8

[Jack Eidsness]

It's definitely still happening. I just tested with this buildid (today's). 

http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-miramar/rev/f1acd88f828e

At 12:25 local time, I tried to reply to an email and it said "On 14:59, {correct person} wrote:"

The email had this Date header:

Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:40:25 -0700

... and was displayed to me in my local time of 13:40. "14:59", same as always, for me.

I'm in +0900 timezone.

Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:02:30 -0400
is sown as
2010/06/10 8:02 (right for my timezone)

When click "Reply"
On 4:59, xxxxxx wrote: (wrong time, no date available)


I generated some .eml files from my stock email which have different Date header. And I got the same
On 4:59, xxxxxx wrote: (wrong time, no date available)
from all of my .eml files.

So I suppose this is the problem only when replying .eml file.
