It is my impression that part of the signature contains the time stamp
of the signers computer.

When you use gpg --verify filename on a signed file or a detached
signature you see a plethora of information including whether the
signature verifies or not.

gpg: Signature made Sat 28 Jun 2014 12:48:22 PM EDT using RSA key ID...

Enigmail should not rely on an email header date when verifying a
signature since time of signing the email and sending could be different
