Messages already have a "Date" header. How is this useful?

Indeed, if I would be someone with really non-nice mails to sent I
would make sure all-ID's were the same on every mail, and all dates
rewritten to the same date, and ofcourse use 4096-strong-encryption
and anonymousely remailed through at least 5 anonymizing-remailers.
Even spammers use some of those tricks...
And then again, using packet-radio on an HF-frequency would do
the trick nicely too and also much simpler and really untraceable.
A nice side-effect is that the receiving-end nor the sender
have to be "at-any-home" at all ...;-)

Google doesn't archive personal mail... I thought of suggesting
Google or something like it but Dan really just needs to archive
messages of interest, not only the Message-IDs. Using the Message-ID
for any parsing is unreliable at best.

Here at FBI Labs, all we have is the suspect's Message-ID.
