Comment 1 Thomas McGuire 2007-04-18 21:47:13 UTC 
Does this happen for all mails or only for some mails?

Please also check the Date: header of the mail.
That header is set by the program sending the mail, sometimes it is incorrect.

When sorting the message list by date / order of arrival, is the mail correctly sorted there?
Comment 2 Victor-Philipp Busch 2007-04-19 20:32:58 UTC 
Only for some mails.

There is no incorrect date in the header. When I sort it by date, it was sorted with the wrong date, when I sort it by arrival its the first one.
Comment 3 Thomas McGuire 2007-04-20 12:39:48 UTC 
Could you attach one of those mails here?
Comment 4 Victor-Philipp Busch 2007-04-20 17:48:30 UTC 
Created attachment 20339 [details]
Mail

No problem, here it ist. Please take a look on the first line (15.04.) and hte
"date:"-line (18.04). I'm a little bit confused...
Comment 5 Thomas McGuire 2007-04-20 19:54:59 UTC 
I haven't seen the first line with the "From" before, all my first lines are the "Return-Path" one. Strange.
Also, you can see that SpamAssassin has detected the wrong date too (See the X-Spam-Status header).

However one can not see if the wrong date was inserted when sending or when receiving, but I guess it occurred at sending time.
Comment 6 Victor-Philipp Busch 2007-04-26 12:33:07 UTC 
Very interesting. A friend of me says, he had received the same mail with the date of the 18th. He use thunderbird as mailclient, so it seems its a bug of kmail.
