No, it should not look at the headers. It uses the results from the UIDL
command, see RFC1939. [Actually, ancient POP3 clients would have used the
LAST command (RFC1460) but that has been obsolete for years.]

Courier generates its UIDLs from the filenames in the maildir, so you would
have to rename the files. Effectively then you are simultaneously
redelivering the mail, and removing the old copy.
