Some MUAs show the message's Date in the reader's local time zone, or at least what it *thinks* the reader's local time zone is. I don't know why you'd be shocked by that. They're using an MUA which makes up its own pseudo-headers like "Sent:". I'm not sure whether it's web-based or not. The only other thing I know about that MUA is that the most evil person I've ever encountered on the Internet used it to create literally dozens of fake personas in order to troll the bash mailing lists. Therefore, it's in my killfile. I'm not seeing any messages from "Stella" except when they're quoted. If "Stella" is one of the fake personas created by that person, then it's working as intended. If "Stella" is a real person who has been blocked as collateral damage, well, that's unfortunate. But email is never going to be perfect. This is the regex I added to my killfile: ^Message-ID: <trinity-.*@3c-app-mailcom At the time, that seemed to do the trick, blocking all of the fake personas in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the troll caught on and started using protonmail to create another batch of fake personas. Those, I blocked one at a time. Maybe I should remove the trinity-3c-app-mailcom block, since it no longer seems to be doing anything helpful...?
