Well, I often (now) keep extracts of mail in my Org buffers. Via a capture
template[1], these get a TODO keyword, a SCHEDULED date (by default, set to
today), a link to the Gnus message (or http link to Gmane) and the date of the
mail.
Why keeping the date of the original mail? Because it's interested to see,
when scanning which emails I still have to answer on, when they've been
issued -- without having to follow on the link.
It is an indication of the age of the mail, that could serve as well for
sorting the subtrees (if I'm not wrong -- I don't use that feature but...).
Does this answer your question?
Best regards,
Seb
