I, too, sometimes use the sender's date/time field to get an idea of when the 
author sent the message, but you must remember that it can't be relied upon 
because of networking.  I, for instance, am in St. Louis on CST but the host I 
usually send mail from is in Cupertino, CA and is on PST; you will therefore see
PST time-stamps on some messages I send (and CST on others, because one of my 
mail systems allows me to specify which time-zone to use).  Seeing PST time 
stamps on my messages won't much help anyone tell when I sent it (if they want 
to know if it's too early/late to phone me, or something like tht).
