[Mailman-Developers] 2.1a4: outgoing messages lack 'Date:' header under qmail

When using SMTPDirect as the DELIVERY_MODULE on qmail systems,
messages are not sent with a 'Date:' header.  Thus, the receiving MTA
will most likely add one, but this is sort of confusing.  RFC2822 also
says this header must be present.
  
I think Message.UserNotification.send() should also add a 'Date'
header just as it adds 'Message-ID' (which I'm glad to see it now
does!).
  
Accordingly, I've submitted a patch (#500670) to the patch manager at
sourceforge.
  
Cheers.
