Hi,
Not sure if this is a bug or working as designed but I wanted to  
report that when a message is received with no proper date header in  
the message, then the displayed date in the date column on the IMP  
message window is the time you logged into IMP.  That is, each time  
you login to IMP, the poorly composed message will show the login time  
in the 'Date' column in the display.  Below is an example of a raw  
message (happens to be from a hardware switch).  Other clients like  
Outlook display the actual arrival time.

Thanks.
