Tannis, thank you. Don't be so quick to think your solution my be too simple. It may be exactly right. Since I've already moved all the messages to a new folder, I can't really tell - but trying to replicate the problem (by clicking one of the non-date column headings) *seems* to be doing to the messages what I thought was the problem. I can't be sure.
It may be that moving all of the messages to a new folder activated the default column heading (Date) and that "solved" the problem. Thank you again.
