So the Date: header in the message that the OP included is actually
something added by Evo?  I can understand why (in that RFC2822 mandates
a date header), but why the inconsistency between what is shown in the
list view and what is shown in message view?

Also, rather than the current date being added, wouldn't it be more
sensible to add an "impossible" date (like the Epoch) so that it's
obvious that something is amiss?
