I was just looking into this missing date header thing since it caused a few
emails to bounce. From what I can tell, the MTA is under no obligation to
add the date header and in Exim it's considered a "fixup" (or rather, not
doing it is called suppressing fixups). Short story; if your MTA adds it
then it's being kind, if not then it's your fault for not doing it yourself.
Considering the date header is meant to be a requirement, I think that maybe
it deserves at least a mention in the ZF manual, maybe it's own addDate()
method and probably to be added automatically by Zend_Mail.
