+i notice that in 2010.1 in Kmail, this whole thread is grouped for date 
+"Unknown" which is listed above "Today".
+
+There is definately a date header, that doesn't seem to be the problem. It 
+would be interesting to find out what is different between this and the other 
+threads?
+
+something about dates in the future when delivered? or something?
