Right.  Mailman is really "vintage" code... The list should now:
- rewrite date headers to be the actual time of receipt, as briefly
attempted before;
- include a new X-Timestamp header to provide additional precision if required;
- by default, only send back copies of list mail if the subject was
changed.  You can change this back to always on the list options page.
 (If you had previously chosen never to receive copies, you don't need
to set that again.)

The last bit may be important if you don't use Gmail.  If you do, the
behavior should be the same, which is the point: Gmail treats copies
sent back with changed headers as new replies, which would previously
only happen if the subject was changed, but now always happens because
the date is always (well, usually) changed.

Hopefully this creates a single obvious meaning for "the time
date-stamped on that message" in R478, so we can finally stop arguing
about the timing of messages. ;p
