Ya i had that issue for a while, it was very annoying.

Navigate to the following registry location
HKLM\Software\OEM\SMS

Create the following new DWORD.

Name: RecvTimeStamp
DWORD Data: 1
Base: Dec

if you dont have that reg you need to create it.

BUT if you want it to show the time the message was sent instead of when it was received then you need to change Dword from 1 to 0. i have tested it with 2 different text and it has shown the sent time instead of the received time.

OH, and once you create/mod the reg exit out of reg editor and then do a soft reset.

Is this for threaded messaging only?
