Date-Field in Mails changing

I installed RT 3.6.1 on debian etch a few day ago.
One problem I still cannot figure out is the fact that
the date field in some ticket-mail is somehow “wrong”.

In let’s say half the cases the date format uses the german short form
of “Thursday” apparently.
So I cannot sort the mails via date because all clients say that the date
is “unknown”.Subject: [rt.xxx.de #77] AutoReply: asdfas

in all other cases the date has the correct english day of week.

But it seems totally random which date format is used no matter how the mail
is generated, via webinterface or email-client.

Could somebody please give a hint?

I noticed a discrepancy with e-mail dates in 3.6.1 also - I was told to
update to 3.6.3 and the issue went away. I think they switched to a
different module for doing e-mail dates. As I recall, the problem we had
was that e-mails would always go out with UTC dates (but labeled as local)
regardless of the TimeZone setting. Or something like that…
