Comment (by saint):

 @sukhbir How married are you to the idea of removing dates entirely?
 Thunderbird doesn't parse dateless emails very well, as a rule, and even
 if patched there are other clients that could respond poorly.  Could
 reasonably lead to people thinking that they haven't received a message
 just by virtue of it being at the bottom of their mail queue.

 A better / less-problematic option might be to allow users to override
 time on a per-message basis (in the compose window).
