it's the standard format used in Internet mail, and changing it is
completely out of the question (since _every_ existing news server
would have to change).
Tsuyoshi> I suggest "Date-2:" field like the following.
having two Date fields would be extremely silly, especially given the
potential confusion (and abuse!) resulting from giving them different
values.
Date is not enough of an issue to make this idea even slightly
worthwhile. If you're having trouble sorting based on it, then use the
approach of converting it to an epoch time first.
