I could sent you these messages, or their > headers, in private if needed. I don't know about flaws in archivemail's date header logic.

But to my knowledge, "-d 0" really should do it, at least with local mail folders; it won't catch all messages in IMAP folders because the IMAP server-side search is too inaccurate, by definition of the IMAP protocol.
