(The info manual, at least, is silent about this, and sendmail.el has not really revealed anything which strikingly resembles the solution.) A number of people have brought to my attention that my messages do not contain a "Date:" header. (As should be the case with this very message.) I can confirm this when I send messages to myself, and a check of my outbox confirms that this started in August 2012. I have no idea why. I could of course use (mail-rfc822-date) to set the Date header in mail-default-headers, but my feeling is that this is not how it is done (and certainly not how it worked on my system until summer 2012). Also, this would have the problem of setting the date when I start writing the message, not when I send it. (And sometimes, I store drafts for quite a while.) Can anybody tell me what I must be blatantly overlooking? Thank you so much! Florian
