I'm not sure what mail-ng could do to solve those problems while still
retaining a useful date field.

How about a single restricted format selected from the somewhat excessive  
range offered by ISO8601 e.g. 2004-04-27T20:55:00+0100

I fail to see how specifying a different date format will stop people from
writing code that violates _that_ format.  It's not as if ISO8601 is 
significantly easier to either produce or parse than RFC 822 dates.
