The time on your computer is eight hours out - or rather, its time zone
is set incorrectly.  6:40PM was presumably the time your email was
written in Perth time (GMT+0800), not the time it was written in
GMT+0000 as the headers imply.

In Debian, you can fix that by running tzconfig as root.  (You'll
probably have to log out and back in again before anything changes?  Not
too sure.)  I'm not sure if tzconfig is standard or Debian-specific...
