Is that so? I think that's wrong, for precisely the reasons that you and I both pointed out. The mail system will slap a Received header on it (unless that, too is broken), and the most recent one is what Mutt should use, if it's going to do this. They should be the same anyway, unless the From_ line's date is garbage, which is known to be a possibility. -- Derek D.
