There are two situations where I have seen dates not be rendered correctly
in Horde and Thunderbird.  In Thunderbird if the source mailserver fails to
include the date field in the header entirely Thunderbird fails to show a
date, since I didn't have one like that currently on my mail server I cannot
say whether Horde will handle that correctly or not (typically using the
arrival date and time as MS does), the second problem, and the one I am
pointing out above, definitely applies to IMP and appears to stem from the
fact the date field of the header leads with the day of the week vice the
day of the month.  Obviously, neither of these issues prevents Horde or IMP
from functioning but it certainly is annoying, especially when your default
inbox view sorts on date.
