"received" time is wrong

Using 52.8 in WIN 7 Pro workstations. For certain emails Thunderbird displays a received time (in the folder item listing) that is exactly 1 hour later than actual time. Checking headers reveals accurate time stamps from all server steps. LAN router and local workstations have correct time. This is consistent for email from a given sender (sending device time is correctly set) and the displayed time is identically incorrect for multiple recipients. Where does Thunderbird get the displayed "received" time?

Please, from where does Thunderbird get the data displayed as the "received" time?
