That´s a good idea :) Any chance of this becoming the default?

BTW, since you´re setting timestamps, did you get nndiary to work? I
managed to get an "nndiary:diary" group in the group view after manually
creating the group (The documentation should point out that you need to
create the group manually ...), yet nndiary does nothing. It doesn´t
receive new mail from its source, and when I move messages manually into
the diary group, nothing happens either.
