I'd like to see what the message without body looks like.
Attached. I've renamed it by appending a .txt to the name since Evolution assumes an attachment with a name ending in .mbox is an email, shows only part of the headers, and tries to import it. Not altogether illogical, but not what's wanted here. I've obfuscated the v6 address of my desktop VM. I sent this to myself, using Evolution, and just didn't include a body. It went through my mail server so it has the appropriate trace headers, including a Received header, but it shows up if I filter for no Received header as you suggested - along with other posts which were placed in the mail folder as sent copies using IMAP protocols, and which _don't_ contain trace headers.
You can also verify that the message has no Received header when viewing the source of it (Ctrl+U). I doubt that both filtering part and the UI part (message list) would misbehave.
I've checked pretty carefully and Evolution does indeed appear to determine the received time from looking at the topmost Received header. I've used Ctrl+U to verify this, so my first clue is the presence of a "?" for the received time in the message index since I order my message index on this column. -- Lindsay Haisley | "The first casualty when FMP Computer Services | war comes is truth." 512-259-1190 | http://www.fmp.com | -- Hiram W Johnson
