I guess I wasn't very clear the first time through. There definitely is 
a problem. If I run lurker-regenerate, then all of the messages that 
were indexed with lurker-index -u  have a date that is the time when 
they were indexed, NOT the Date: header in the message.

Basically, I have to rebuild from scratch if I screw up the database 
(which I've done once when I left delete on)
