Hmmm, you raise a good point, the way it's set right now is a good
indicator of how crazy other people are, and if we're likely to see a reply
from them that day. For example, you're correct when you point out that I
sent the last at 00:44:48 -0800, and this one is even worse :^) since it's
now 1:54am here.
It might be possible to stuff the original at the beginning of the message
body. Still I guess it is best to leave the timestamps alone.
OTOH, this reply-to bit is driving me crazy!
