% Hm.  Gnus reads Maildir, but doesn't write it (although I think
% they're working on this).  Maybe I can grab a development version.

Can it write MMDF or save to an IMAP server, both of which mutt also
speaks fluently?

Well, I've never heard of that before, so I'm going to go out on a limb
and say "nope" :-)

Hokay.  So the From: header doesn't say nobody (which was my original
thought, but you've been talking about date), and the Date: is properly
saved in the message.

% 
% They seem to.  So Mutt groks the Date header, but isn't displaying
% that date in the index.  Maybe Mutt uses the From_ header instead
% for efficiency?

I don't know about the latter hypothesis, but the  former conclusion does
seem to be correct.  I wonder why that would be the case, though.

It seems to me, though it's probably no help to you, that it's Gnus that's
doing it wrong; I admit, though, that mutt probably oughta display the
Date: info instead of the From_ info regardless of whether or not the
latter is accurate.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
