Well, I read the discussion on how Date and received fields are
treated at the archive.

1) If the archiving is done by the received field, the list maintainer
can have no way of inluencing the order according to which messages
are archived.  Not good, especially if one has to send in older
messages to the archive.

2) Perhaps it should be left to the list maintainer to make sure the
Date fields are properly written (like every message could have the
Date filed rewritten when it is received by the list).

3) How about supporting an X-Archive-With-Date field?  The archiving
could be done according to the rule

x-archive-with-date/received/date

If the archiving rule stays as it is now (received/date), it is
impossible to send in older messages to the archive.
