It is a function of TB, but it looks from the above as though it is
not correctly formatted in the original message itself. To check,
highlight the message and then press CTRL-SHIFT-K to show the
headers. Then find the header that starts with "Date:", copy the
entire line and paste in an email for us to see. The format should be
Date: DDD, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss ZZZ
For instance, in your email the header says
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:26:28 GMT

If the problem is an incorrect format, you can export the file to a
unix mailbox format, edit the format to correct it and then re-import
the message. If you are more daring you could edit the messages.tbb
file in the appropriate mail folder directly, but that is more risky.
