I suspect the list archives automatically clean up bogus dates by using 
the date received if the date sent is invalid. Here's the actual header 
I got in one of your patchbomb messages:

  Date: Sun,  Sep 2005  (MEZ) - Mitteleurop. Sommerzeit

I'm no expert, but that doesn't look valid to me. Your non-patchbomb 
message has this, which works fine in Thunderbird:

  Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2005 10:26:55 +0200 (MEST)

Cheers,

Kevin
