The date *is* properly formatted acording to RFC 822. The timezone
may both be indicated with names like EDT and with a numerical value.

Mutt understands EDT as -0400. You can see the known timezone names
in the TimeZone table in the parse.c source file.

Right, and that is indeed the problem.

Message 1001 was sent at "Sat, 20 May 2000 07:33:38 EDT", that is
11.33.38 +0000 (UT)
Message 1003 was sent at "Sat, 20 May 2000 12:56:48 +0100", that is
11.56.48 +0000 (UT)
So message 1001 seems to be sent before than message 1003, and
therefore Mutt will not treat it as a reply to message 1003.
