Kevin,
AHA!

Yes, that would be correct, we are using Outlook 2010 and exchange.

I assume you're using Outlook/Exchange?

The first date (Jan 02 13:27:21) is when RT received the ticket and recorded the transaction and is displayed in your preferred timezone.

The second date is the raw Date: header from your email as sent by your client.  We've noticed that recent outlooks have decided that mail should be sent with a date header in UTC.  RT merely shows the
Date: header verbatim.

I've just pushed RT::Extension::LocalDateHeader to CPAN which should be available on your local mirror soon and offers one possible solution to this problem.

The docs should eventually be available to read here https://metacpan.org/release/RT-Extension-LocalDateHeader
Or you can review them on github
