In retrospect I think you're right - I thought we'd overridden that judgement with the current rules language: > Any action performed by sending a message is performed at the time > date-stamped on that message. but looking closer, that judgement still fits our interpretation that other datestamps in the headers other than the "Date:" can be used as the "date-stamp" if there's a discrepancy between them (annotation should be kept). -G.
