Well that's what I had always assumed gateways (I think we are thinking
mainly of mailing list expanders here) would do (read: I have never
spotted one changing anything, though I have not looked that hard).

Your message to which I am replying arrived with

    Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2007 14:27:35 -0800

Is that identical to what you submitted? I believe this lists uses
Mailman.

I have carefully set the Date header on this message to be:

    Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:59:52 GMT

Will people please report if it arrives exactly like that?
