It would be nice when searching for old mail (using nnir[1]) to know by
the group name the date it arrived. I archive my outgoing mail by
date sent and I like that very much.
I guess I could change my format string to print out the date, but I
really don't want it there except when doing searches.
Not a very compelling reason, huh? :-)
