Oh I know there's no issue now; I was meaning under Ørjan's proposed "The Date: header of an emailed public message constitutes a self-ratifying claim that the message was sent at the indicated time." (wouldn't that explicit Rules-specification of the Date being correct override any old precedent about when it was "generally received"?)
