Since this is a subject I looked at before, I'm rather curious. Where in the SORT draft does it say to fall back to INTERNALDATE?
Just search for INTERNALDATE :)
DATE
Sent date and time from the Date: header, adjusted by time
zone. This differs from the SENTON criteria in SEARCH, which
uses just the date and not the time, nor adjusts by time zone.
If the sent date can not be determined (a Date: header is
missing or can not be parsed), the INTERNALDATE for that
message is used as the sent date.Treating invalid time as 00:00:00 should probably be done at some point, but it's a pretty rare problem and also a SHOULD, not a MUST :)
