From your message header: Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 15:54:58 -0600
Your local time being 3:54 pm, at that time, which is -6 hours from GMT. That date isn't written in GMT. If you had day light savings in effect, the offset would be different. Recipients would use the two together to correlate to their own time. Programs which sort mails in date order would believe the dates, regardless. People start to see replies sorted before original postings. It gets confusing.
That's broken software you are talking about. The time which is computed is GMT, period, full stop, end of story. My local time, plus offset, is GMT, always. Any program which mis-sorts is broken.
