I'm not sure what you mean by 'saving' a message in the same folder.

Is this a message that you received from someone else? If so, it is
already 'saved'. You can MOVE it around all you want, but the date/time
stamps should always stay the same (it should still sort the same if you
sort by date/time).

I will *vigorously* argue AGAINST changing this behavior, if this is
what you are asking for.

If (Al)pine is actually modifying a received messages headers, then I
would declare (Al)pine as seriously BROKEN.
