Hmph! "it seems unlikely" but you're right, the stupid MTA at my work
is rejecting the message. I've tried both in to work and out from
work and in both cases the message gets bounced by the same MTA.
Sending a message in to work it negotiates all the intermediate
systems between here (x-1.net) and my work and then gets bounced there
so the generality of MTAs don't bounce a message with an 'old' Date:
header.
Is there any clever trick I can do in mutt to 'bounce' a message but
with a new Date: header? The whole point of the exercise is to
effectively forward a message somewhere else with the minimum of
keystrokes.
