Yes, I am using 1.1Beta8.  I don't have the same e-mail anymore, but 
here is another example.

Received = Tue, 20 Nov 2007 06:51:55 -0800

Date Header = Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:18:06 +0000

ls -l = 2007-11-20 06:51

Thunderbird = 1:18AM

Squirrelmail = Tue, 1:18AM

Squirrelmail shows the same date no matter how I select the "Use 
Received Date" setting.
