I'm all for keeping clocks synchronised, and it's very easy, but I can't
do anything about someone else's computer's settings, in essence it is
trusting externally-supplied data which has a non-zero percentage to be
false. Using arrival date isn't totally troublefree either, but I found
it works much better. Still looking for the thrid way which works all
the time...

Is threading really affected by time stamp, or only by reference header?
There is a high amount of randomness in the order of the threads anyway
because it's sorted by date of first msg in thread.
