there's a glitch in whatever (probably Tbird) uses to check the time).

I've noticed some curious things with Thunderbird myself, but just never bothered to let them bother me.

Most of the time, anyway, when messages "hide" for a while, it drive me nuts. And I can't stop some of the filters from working.

Thunderbird is one of the best out there for lots of things, but it does do some silly things.
