What happened to the time?

Netscape and the early versions of Mozilla had an intermediate step.  
Mail dated on the 4th (and displayed today) would just have the time.  
Mail from yesterday would have "Saturday" and the time, and so on.  Only 
when the mail was older than a week would it show the full timestamp.  
Yes, this took some getting used to ;-)

The really nasty part of it was if you printed an email, it would show 
the date on the printed copy just like it did on the screen, which 
wasn't very useful 6 months hence when you wanted to know when it was 
sent...

Fortunately, progress has been made...
