Zygmunt Wereszczynski is quite right. The "Received" column means
"Received by TheBat!" and not "Received by the last mailserver".
I could imagine that TheBat! adds some lines to the header of the
eMail. Maybe in this form:
Received: from 206.190.53.232 (EHLO mta232.mail.re2.yahoo.com) (206.190.53.232)
by The Bat! (v3.xxx) UNREG(!) with POP3; Tue, 21 Aug 2007 15:31:20 +1100
Received: from 87.234.203.180 (EHLO thrall.0x539.de) (87.234.203.180)
by mta232.mail.re2.yahoo.com with SMTP; Tue, 21 Aug 2007 14:25:29 -0700
Then, even if eMail is exported, the original date of firs receiving
is still there. But for which purpose?
