I did the above, and I do see the "Date" header.  However, I needed a
few additional settings before I could proceed after "C-c C-c".  Here
are the variables I needed to set:

  user-full-name
  user-mail-address
  smtpmail-smtp-server
  smtpmail-smtp-service
  smtpmail-stream-type

Not sure if any of the above is relevant to the issue at hand.

Can you step through sendmail-send-it, and see what happens there with
the date header?  According to my reading of the code, by the time
mail-do-fcc is invoked, the Date header is supposed to be already in
the mail buffer, and that buffer is inserted verbatim into FCC.
