Excuse my confusion, but are you stating that the contents of the 
"Date:" header are incorrect and Tb is inserting the date & time that 
the message is received instead of using the date & time that the 
message was sent?
The words "reads" and "into" are likely the source of my confusion.

In the case of your message, the "Date:" header contained "Sat, 16 Apr 
2005 13:52:49 -0500" and was shown here with that date but the time was 
shown as 2:52 PM due to the incorrect setting for the TZ of -0500 for 
Toronto.
Also, one of the "Received" headers is as follows, which is not 
incongruous with the above date & time.
"
Received: from k3.ksbase ([216.126.66.211])
    by bmtmicro.com (bmtmicro.com)
    (MDaemon.PRO.v7.2.3.R)
    with ESMTP id pd50001457204.msg
    for <kenn.yuill@sympatico.ca>; Sat, 16 Apr 2005 14:00:53 -0400
"

I guess that I am having one of my "dumb" days, which happen in spite of 
my best efforts.
