I use msmtp in a script. I do not insert the date as I leave that to my
upstream SMTP server (my ISP's mail server) -- which it **should** do
if there is no Date header.
However, I have found that if all lines in the "body" of the email
message down to the first blank line are, in fact, headers then msmtp
will interpret them accordingly. As I understand it, this is in
accordance with RFC[2]821 and RFC[2]822 protocols.
I have found this very convenient for adding "additional" headers and
for expanding the To and From headers from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to the more modern "John Doe
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" and "Richard Roe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>".
Perhaps you can hack your scripts to include a date header (see man
date for the -R --rfc-2822 switch) before the first blank line in what
would otherwise be the body of the message.

There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies; the other
is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
