I do not know if the terms "technically receiving" and "imported" are
explained somewhere, but TheBat makes no modification in the headers
of received eMails.

They do not.
Following your logic to the end, we need several "Received" columns as
there are often 4 or more "Received" lines in an eMail header.
[ironie]It could be interesting to sort messages by
first/second/third/fourth receiving entry.......[/ironie]
Roelof Otten explained very well in
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> how it works and the logic behind
this behaviour. I think this is good logic and TheBat should not
modify anything there.
