Summary: Formmail lacks RFC-mandated Date: header

Initial Comment:
The RFCs for email messages indicate that there should
be a Date: field in the headers of each message, but
its absence seems to be a standard thing for
form-to-email scripts in Perl. Is there a particular
reason for leaving it out?

Apparently the format is defined in RFC 822 and updated
in RFC 1123 (switching to 4-digit years and
recommending numeric timezone offsets). The RFCs in
question are at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html
(section 5, "DATE AND TIME SPECIFICATION") and
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1123.html (section 5.2.14).
