Steps to reproduce
- Open a message, where not all content (images etc.) is shown.
- Press "Download complete message".
Expected behavior
The timestamp shouldn't change.
Actual behavior
The timestamp, when the message is arrived, is overwritten. So the sorting is no longer useful.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Android 9 with app version 6.804 by opening a partially downloaded message and selecting “Download complete message.” Trace the message-download and timestamp handling from that action; done means the original arrival timestamp remains unchanged and message sorting still reflects arrival time.
