> About the date in the From line, it is supposed that the From line is written when the mail is delivered, i mean, the action of saving the email on a file. If you write it in mbox, then no new From will be written when you move that message.

why not?  the "From " line is written when the message is delivered to a
mb.  but it's not part of the message proper.  so copying a message
really copies the rfc/822 part.  the from line is an awkward appendage.
it is strange to carry it forward in the special case of copying a mail
from one box to another.
