So, I didn't realize that lurker-regenerate is just a script that's 
wrapped around lurker-index, and it calls it without -u, so of course 
this happens.

Now, the odd thing (dare I say 'bug'?) is that if you import a message 
with -u and lurker-index has to create a 'From ' line, it uses the 
import time in that 'From ' line even though you've explicitly told it 
to trust userdate instead.

As such, when you run regenerate, it clobbers the dates.

I'm not much of a programmer, but I'm now looking at the code to see if 
I can make it use the userdate if that's set.

Someone more familiar with the code could probably produce a patch in a 
matter of minutes.
