It turns out that the time/date _is_ being imported into TB!.  But it
shows up under the 'Received' time/date, rather than under the
'Created' time/date.

This seems strange.  To me the creation time of the message is the
original time/date when the message was sent, not the time it was
"created" in TB!.  Further, the strange 1899 date in the individual
message headers remains unexplained.
