I would accept this as an option (since I wouldn't use it) but not as a standard feature. Internet mail can be delayed for a considerable time. I frequently receive messages that are dated several months in the past and do indeed contain information that was pertinent then. There are any number of reasons for this, most of which resolve down to a lack of understanding on the part of the e-mail sender.
If the user can't configure his machine to tell time then that is too bad. I would rather have really old messages show up where they should than have the odd malformed date stamp corrected automatically. In any case, many MTA'a allow the receipent the option of sorting by transmission or receipt date and time in any case.
Regards,
Jim
