This behavior probably is the result of the Windows date/time
handling, Windows will change your time zone to your DST or Standard
Time. 

My guess is that The Bat! stores all the dates and times of the
e-mails in UTC and then the date will be shown with the correct time
zone appended.

You will experience the same behavior on all the files that you have
on your system since the file-date is stored in UTC and then shown with
the current time zone appended.
