I think you are misunderstanding what I am trying to say.....

I am *was* too lazy to find out exactly what the check box was doing
"under the hood".  I know what the results are...otherwise I would not
have been able to answer your question.  :-)

Under the odd it is adding this line...

user_pref("mailnews.display.original_date", true);

to the prefs.js file. 

It is considered a "hidden" option since it does not show up in the
"advanced editor" display.  That line is either in the prefs.js or not.

So, if you don't want to install the ConfigDate addon you can simply add
the line above.
