[docs] example in "18.1.11. email: Examples" lacks "Date" field

Hey Sandro!

Thanks for looking into this.

Interesting! This appears to be an implementation-dependent behavior
at the MTA, as qmail and postfix do not fill out required fields for you.
When sending through either, the email arrives at the recipient as sent.

Also, this behavior seems to be borderline with RFC5322:
"[The origination date field] is specifically not intended to convey the
   time that the message is actually transported, but rather the time at
   which the human or other creator of the message has put the message
   into its final form, ready for transport"

In any case, given the purpose of the example, I think showing how to
add the Date field is a good thing.

Again, just my 2 cents.
