| Now you're comparing content to metadata.
Not really, I was certainly not suggesting doing anything with the
content of the message (though I'm not sure about encapsulated messages).

No, but if the sender says "reply today" - I need to know what "today"
was in his/her frame of reference when the message was sent - which is
what the Date header (in its original form) tells me.
Note that for this I don't necessarily know anything about the sender at
all (consider messages requesting help sent to mailing lists - like this
one..)
