Subject: customized date

If I want to specify the date: header explicitly
how do I do that?
Adding "date:" to custom headers does not appear
to work.

No way other than patching the source code

Nope, because Pine will re-write it regardless, and I think 'Date' is on
the 'banned headers' list anyway.

I'd suggest adding an X-Date: header if you really want to add the date,
but of course I'm guessing that won't do what you want to do... then again
I don't know why you want to do what you want to do.

Perhaps a more helpful approach would be to ask why you want to add the
date manually, and then I might be able to offer a better suggestion.

I like to sort my mail by date.
Dates in the future are effectively appointment
reminders.
I can write a script to mail me stuff with an
arbitrary date header.  I don't see why I
shouldn't be able to override Pine's date with my
own.
