On the mutt-dev list someone pointed out the APPEND spec from the
IMAP4rev1 standard:

	If a date-time is specified, the internal date SHOULD be set in
	the resulting message; otherwise, the internal date of the
	resulting message is set to the current date and time by default.

Does dovecot honor a date-time passed during APPEND?
