Received date on email is incorrect
For some reason Thunderbird 91.3.2 on Windows is showing the incorrect date for email receipt. What it seems to be doing is taking the date/time from the origin of the email and displaying it as received date and time. This is annoying me most with spam filtering which I assume runs against anything with a date more recent than it's last run, since messages seem to be listed based on the sent date rather than received date they are never rejected by the spam filter. Perhaps I should report this directly as a bug but what does anyone think? I include below a (hopefully) anonimised mail header with some little arrows to show the issue.

Thanks very much (so broken by design would be my interpretation). Do you know anything about how the Thunderbird spam filter works, if I make the change to display the date differently will it actually run the spam filter using that date or is it still using the sender's date to evaluate if it is new spam?
I don't know which date the junk filter uses, but it should be easy to test. Note that the preference change doesn't take effect until the IMAP folder is re-downloaded. I don't use TB's Junk controls, relying on spam/junk/bulk filters at the mail provider's end, which might work with a different date format.
