So you were not talking about the mailbox format...
If I export your message to UNIX mailbox format it looks like:
>From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 5 01:01:15 2000

I was referring to this first line which shows my local time when i
got the mail from my POP server (the received time from TB!). There
we have the correct received time (correct unless you prefer the
time when the mail reached your POP mailbox, not when you fetched it
;-)
Unfortunately TB! does it right only when exporting... :-(

It would indeed be a way to save the received time in the headers.
But what if some server had its time set somewhere in the future?
Then TB!, looking for the latest time in the Received: headers,
would find this future time...
