APPEND sounds better to me.. You could even make it get the timestamp from the first Received-header if it exists, which makes it pretty

unless we continually check and touch them.
Why would they change?
Basically, as long as the message list date doesn't match the
"Date:" seen in the message, our users will be confused. Is there
any chance the optional workaround flag could make it to CVS?
No. You could possibly do it as a plugin though so you don't have to
keep patching the sources.
I don't actually even see why this is a problem. Why are your users
uploading existing messages to IMAP server in the first place?
