Description Nigel Babu 2009-12-20 02:57:07 UTC
Binary package hint: evolution

1. lsb_release -rd says:
      Description: Ubuntu 9.10
      Release: 9.10

2. apt-cache policy evolution says:
    Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 0
            500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
        2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0

3. Today is 12/9/2009. I have an email in my INBOX dated 12/11/2009 10:00:46, which I received last year from a friend who's computer clock was off by a year. I would expect the date message to be reported as "12/11/2009", or "2 days from now".

4. Instead, its date is represented as "Tomorrow 22:00", which is incorrect.

PS - This is probably not high priority.
PS2 - It would be nice if Evolution allows direct editing of headers of received messages, so I could have fixed the "received" date of this message the day I received it.

Comment 1 Punit Jain 2010-10-01 13:46:53 UTC
Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in Evolution
2.32.0 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the
"Version" field? Thanks a lot.
For PS2 I personally don't think this is good idea to change header of received message. If you feel it is worth having you can report a separate enhancement bug.
Thanks
