The received time for TB! is not a part of the RFC Headers. TB!'s
received time is the time each message reaches your inbox.

Even though they have the same received time or almost the same, :=),
they're sorted in the correct order. The received time is to the nearest
minute and not the nearest second. :=) It works much better for me when
I sort by received time rather than creation times.
What you could do is sort by received time but display the message
creation time.

There's no facility for doing so at present. A regex macro to extract
the time your server received the message could be written but it cannot
be used to manipulate what the columns show.
DTS> sorry to interrupt
You didn't, so there's nothing to be sorry about. :=)
