            Bug ID: 64482
           Summary: Date header is unreliable; option to use other dates
                    instead
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_mbox
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: sebb@apache.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The Date: header in emails is often unreliable as an indicator of when the
message was received by a mailing list.

If the message was moderated, the date could be several days earlier than the
appearance on the list. Also early emails may have wildly inaccurate dates.

It would be useful to be able to use a more accurate date.
For example, the Received: headers or the From_ line.
