 I think it's always sorting on the date that it got from the "From " line,
but displaying the date from the "Date: " line.

 There's a gmtime option that controls the timezone used to display dates
(add "gmtime = 1" to your ~/.hmrc to try this). There doesn't appear to be
any easy way to control which date gets used where.
