3. Helping users sort the email in their inboxes.  This can be 
important to some people, since I know when we had one user posting 
from 1980, many other list members weren't noticing her posts because 
their mail clients put those messages where the date: header said they 
should be.

That said, I think this is something that is better handled by mail 
clients and the original senders, not Mailman.   But in the past, I've 
been asked for this feature for this reason, so I imagine other people 
want it for similar reasons.
