I think you need to override the default or current setting of
$index_format, and change %{%b %d} to %D (or %d if you want the sender's
time zone)

Maybe someone can better explain this (since the behavior I'm seeing
from %{%b %d} doesn't line up exactly with what I'd expect from TFM),
but I think that will give the behavior you want.
