The missing Date: header was fixed in Mailman 2.1.7. See
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1212066&group_id=103&atid=100103>
and
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1301983&group_id=103&atid=300103>.

The outgoing MTA should add the missing Date: header, but if it
doesn't, various MUAs displaying the message will display "0" as you
surmise.
