As far as I can see SA (3.2.5) currently assigns this a very low score:

   score MISSING_DATE 0.001 # n=0 n=1 n=2 n=3
   score MISSING_MID 0.001 # n=1 n=2 n=3

Even when there are no headers present SA seems to score low:

   meta NO_HEADERS_MESSAGE (MISSING_DATE && MISSING_HEADERS &&
          NO_RECEIVED && NO_RELAYS && MISSING_MID)
   score NO_HEADERS_MESSAGE 0.001

Perhaps literally increasing the score of MISSING_DATE to a couple of
points would make a difference.
