Date is not shown in messages list
The date of some emails doesn't display. As a result they show up at the top of my email list. Can this be fixed?

TB shows today's mail with just the time, by default. If that is the issue, it can be changed to show all messages with the full date.
Right-click mail.ui.display.dateformat.today in Options/General/Config. editor and change the value to 2. If the preference is missing, right-click in Config. editor and create a new integer preference.

Well thank you. I was able to create the integer preference and toggle to 2 and that more or less solved the problem - which oddly was created when TB decided to mark certain emails with today's date (the date I installed it on my current desktop). So emails from a couple of years ago are dated today. Not too bad of a problem, but at the same time, odd. Thank you again! JHS
