Delayed messages with "revealing" Date header?

Delayed messages with "revealing" Date header?

[Tim Landscheidt]

Hi,

when I delay a message with C-c C-j, the message gets a Date
header with the current time (visible in the delayed group)
that is not filtered when the message is sent. This results
in a message sent at time Y that is clearly labelled as hav-
ing been written at time X - though in most cases I would
assume the intention would be to pretend it having been
written at time Y. Is this an issue with my setup (Gnus
5.13) or is my use case so uncommon? :-)

As discussed on <URI:news:gnu.emacs.gnus>,
message-draft-headers was the culprit. I have attached a
small patch that adds this information to the manual.
