time stamps on emails in mutt index display



Where does mutt get the date and time that it displays
in the index of emails in a folder? I ask because I am
trying to build an archive of old email in maildir
format and I have a troublesome email (well more than
one, but one is particularly troublesome).

The desplayed date is 1970-01-01 00:00:00. I know that
this is the Unix epoch. I opened this particular email
in vim, say the there was no Date: line in it, and put
one in. But, even with multiple restarts of the program
and fiddles with the formate of the date string, I still
see the Unix epoch. Where should I dummy in a date on
an email so that mutt sees it? (and believes it?)

TIA
