Resetting timestamps on mailfolders

Just thought I'd follow-up with my latest findings.

After doing a bit of searching, I've  come across the Mail::Header and
Mail::Field::Received Perl modules, which I'm considering using.  I'm
curious to know if the latest Received: header might be the one to
use.  It seems quite sound to me, but I'd like a confirmation if I can
get it. ;-)
