----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Emails send with TorBirdy installed are currently leaking local timestamp
 information via the Date header field.

 Sukhbir is preparing a patch for Thunderbird that will allow us to send
 emails without Date header field.
 The Date header will then be inserted by the mail server as described in
 chapter 4.2.3: http://bit.ly/qDZm7C
