Yup that worked. Thanks! On my test list it sent 'tomorrow' before change, 'now' after change. Date headers were maintained correctly through all mail hops. I guess being in New Zealand (UTC +12) is an 'edge case' for date handling.
What's the process for filing a bug? [btw. reading through your code is freaky ... it's like a window into your brain ... ;-) ]

Try this:
In dada/DADA/Mail/Send.pm there's a line that says:
$fields{Date} = $self->_Date;
It's in such a place, that the Date header in outgoing messages *should* be created, right when they're sent. It's possible there's a bug in the actual method that creates the Date header. You'll see notes above this line:
# DEV: I'm setting the date here, since somewhere the date is being rewritten *Somewhere*
# DEV: I should also be using Email::Date::Format, instead of something I ripped out of Mail::Bulkmail - no?
Looks like I stole the code from another module, so there's a good chance there's some bugs in it. The, "Email::Date::Format" module would be a great replacement, as it has no dependencies, hasn't been updated in years and hopefully, doesn't have this bug. I'll attempt to make a note to do just that.
You could try simply removing/commenting out that line ($fields{Date} = $self->_Date; ) and see if the mail server itself will create the Date header for you. If so, you're golden.
Why this problem doesn't happen in test messages - man, I have no idea ;)
Sounds like a bug should be opened, if anything.
