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.

I think I've resisted this in the past because it confused some MTAs, but I no longer remember the details. Plus RFC 2822 is clear on this point and Mailman does strive to be RFC compliant.
