as given there. I recommended getting them from the From_ postmark line, if
Helen's mail has those, or if procmail's -f- option can generate one for her,
and failing that, getting them from the topmost Received: header.
O.K. I see my problem, but, I do not understand why, because I
learn from the sendmail book (O'Reilly) that the format of the
From_ line is "From $g $d" while $d is set when $a is set
(part 31.10.10). And (part 31.10.2): "The $a macro holds the
origin date of the a mail message (the date and time that the
original message was sent). ...". My conclusion was that From_
gives the sender date. By exploration my INBOX I see that you
right, the date is local - hmmm, confusion!

All servers add Received: headers in reverse order, putting new ones at the
top. I've never heard of an exception, much less seen one. The uppermost
Received: header will be the most recent.
I do not find the old article about the SPAM which talk about
this problem so, I apologize if I mislead somebody.
Bye,
