For moral equivalence, the Date: header is a pledge as to when the

I've done only two user studies in my life. The first -- for the Rand
system --produced the email command name 'reply'. The second -- for the
DRUMS production of RFC2822, I believe, clarifying RFC822 -- was for the
semantics of the Date: field. It's meaning was not lear in 822 and the
result of the survey of users I did was to define it as the time of
posting. Hence the 'send' you cite, rather than the 'compose'.
Thank you for tolerating this distraction. You are now returned to
matters of substance...
