That date came from somewhere. But not from qmail (as I had been
assuming) and, obviously, not from here. It's an original header from the
email software. So, I created the header at the top of the file to be
piped to sendmail and got what I wanted. (Actually, I wrote a script to do
it.)
Thanks,
Michael
