What is really bad is where you get mixed up between "sent" and

date by default, but some list servers use "sent" instead, so at one
stage I had the first reply as the root of the thread with the original
message showing indented as a "possible follow-up", LOL!
Is "sent" that actual message header field name? Received fields
provide the date that a message was actually received by the system.
You may want experiment with the DATEFIELDS resource. Since "sent" is
not a standard field I am aware of, you may be safe to do the
following:
<DateFields>
sent:received:date
</DateFields>
Therefore, messages that do have a Sent field will have the date
take precedence of the Received date.
