Question:While email gateways are outside of the scope of the WG, it might be relevant to ask...
what's current practice for email gateways on incoming messages? Do they: - keep the Date: header and accept rejection for old articles? - modify the Date: header if the article is rejected on submission? - modify the Date: header in all cases?If they're all currently keeping the Date: header and accept rejection, then I don't see any reason to bend over backwards to do something different; if they all mangle Date: before submission, that's a clear indication that they've learned to do so by bad experiences.

It's possible to argue that it doesn't require any change to USEFOR. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
