I think what he is trying to do is make the MTA sort on
'Date' make new messages show up in the message list in
the right place so you don't overlook them or push the
current ones off the screen. Do some MTA's let you base
this sort on the received timestamp instead of the date
header which is often wrong?
MTA's won't and probably should not sort message, MUA's should be able
to sort on received time. Evolution allows this, I use it this way
probably for the same reason the OP is trying to change the date.
As another poster wrote, changing the date on a message is not really a
good idea. Sorting messages on date/time received should achieve what
the user is trying to do.
