It can't be done without changing the source. But fortunately
that's rather easy to do in this case.

Edit sendlib.c and find the function "mutt_make_date" around line
1146 and replace it with this code:

char *mutt_make_date (char *s, size_t len)
{
  time_t t = time (NULL);
  struct tm *l = localtime (&t);
  time_t tz = mutt_local_tz (t);

  tz /= 60;

  snprintf (s, len,
            "Date: %s, %d %s %d (%d ad U.c.) %02d:%02d:%02d %+03d%02d\n",
            Weekdays[l->tm_wday], l->tm_mday, Months[l->tm_mon],
            l->tm_year + 1900, l->tm_year + 1900 + 753,
            l->tm_hour, l->tm_min, l->tm_sec,
            tz / 60, abs (tz) % 60);
  return (s);
}

I don't make a patch because it would conflict with the bugfix
patch posted by TLR a few days ago to fix the Date:-header if the
local timezone isn't a whole number of hours. The fix is included
in the above code.

BTW what happened 2752 years ago?
