[NTLUG:Discuss] how do i fix this date issue?

[Jack Snodgrass]

I don't know how to fix the missing 'date:' entry... but 
personally... I don't trust the 'date:' filed of the email 
anyway.... if you show / sort-by the 'date:' field ( as you 
are doing ) sometimes weird things happen... invalid dates
( 1969 ) go to the bottom or if someone have a mail server
problem and their mail is delayed 4 days... once the mail 
arrived, it goes to some page of your email client that 
you never see.... 

so... I always change out the 'Date:' field on my email 
client with 'Received:'... that way, the mail is put into
my inbox in the order it was received... not in the order
of the 'Date:' field that may or may not be correct. 

I use evolution and you just rigth click in the 
column headings and 'add a new field' or Remove a 
field. 

your mail client may be different but should let you 
add a received column... probablly...
