Steps to reproduce:

Received emails without Date: header field and trying to sort by date.

Actual results:

Messages are sorted by date, but messages without Date: header are sorted as having arrived today, even though there is a date in the Received: field.

Expected results:

If the Date: field is missing, use any of the dates in the Received: header instead. The emails should certainly not all be listed as having arrived today, when they could have arrived a long time ago.

If the Date: field is missing, use any of the dates in the Received: header instead. The emails should certainly not all be listed as having arrived today, when they could have arrived a long time ago.

Yes, we need a valid date so we can sort the message. Then sorting will be fixed automatically.
So this will be fixed by Bug 266434
