MailMate should only use the current date if it cannot find any date 
information in the emails. I suspect something else might have added 
headers to the messages. If I remember correctly then Gmail can do this 
under certain circumstances (I cannot remember the details). You can 
send me one of these emails off list (using “Message ▸ Forward as 
Attachment”) and I'll review the headers.
