Yes, it very well could have something to do with it. If the time zone
on the senders computer is wrong the message times will be wrong and not
sort accurately with other messages especially if they're involved in a
thread. If the senders PC clock is not properly set and off by even an
hour, it could mess up the message sorting for an e-mail based
conversation. TB!'s received time deals with this problem nicely.
What you can do is sort by received time but display the 'created'
message list column. You should see the German messages fall into order.
You're really in a difficult bind if there's an inordinate delay in the
time the message takes to reach your local server from the sender as
well as the senders PC Clock being incorrectly set.
Why not post a sample RFC header for one of the German messages. We
could examine it and tell if there's an inordinate delay with respect to
its reaching your local mail server.
