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?  :-)
