   I think that sorting is done by the timestamp that is shown in the Date:   
   header, and where what is shown in a folder display is not necessarily   
   the date that is placed in the header, but also accounts for offsets for   
   specified time zone, and where the final display is shown in your own   
   time zone.   
      
   Thus, if a sender posts something 1015 European Summer Time (i.e., UCT   
   +2) and if you're in US Eastern Daylight Time (UCT -4), the time shown   
   in your display will be the time in your time zone, which would be 0415.   
      
   Ultimately, when you're accounting for multiple time zones (especially   
   ones that are more than one or two hours apart, especially crossing   
   midnight), that's the only way to do that, of ensuring that you see   
   chronological order regardless of the time zone.

   I think that this is very unlikely that its something that would ever   
   turn up in Seamonkey.  If implemented, it's something that would have to   
   come upstream from Thunderbird, and narrow enough interest that I doubt   
   that the Thunderbird developers would ever consider.
