        Hi,
I guess so.

I think because the summary information (CamelMessageInfo) was created
from the unchanged message, which didn't have that Date header, and
because the summary record is not updated on "implicit" message change
by evo. (I obviously do not recall where/when exactly is the Date header
added.)

I do not know. I only recalled seeing something close enough to this
issue, that I believe is the same thing.
