SimpleMail stamps messages with the time they are actually sent - =20
there=92s no slot you can set for the time you want.

There=92s no easy way. For Mail 2.0 you could modify the file at ~/=20
Library/Mail/Mailboxes/foldername.mbox/xxxx.emlx (where foldername is =20=

the name of the Mail folder containing the message and xxxx is a =20
sequence number generated by Mail) with any old text editor, and =20
change the Date: header to what you want. But this will only affect =20
the message header display, not the Date Sent or Received column.

Good luck
