Subject: 25.1; sendmail does not add a Date: header in FCC

From: Francesco Potortì <[email-masked]>

When mail-user-agent is set to 'sendmail-user-agent, email saved to FCC
files does not include a Date: header.  Don't know if this happens for
other user agents as well.

I work around this bug by doing:

;; Work around 25.1 bug, who does not add a Date: header
(add-hook 'mail-send-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (save-excursion
	      (goto-char (point-min))
	      (when (not (re-search-forward
			  "^Date: " (search-forward mail-header-separator) t))
		(insert "Date: " (mail-rfc822-date) "\n"))))
	  'append)
