In case the sender's timestamp is wrong, Evolution incorrectly reports dates in the near future

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 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 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.

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
