           Summary: kmail - please add ability to display and sort by date
                    received
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: 104624.2404 at compuserve.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Kmail should have the ability to extract the date from the Received header
field, display the date received and sort by date received.

A significant number of emails have incorrect or missing Date header fields.
When sorting by Date in kmail, these drop to the bottom as Unknown or appear at
the top if the Date header field contains a future date. 

The closest bug report I could find is 190088, which correctly points out that
kmail no longer has the ability to sort email in reverse storage order.  In
contrast, this is a request to add a new feature that is industry-standard for
comparable email applications.
