I think you should indeed! Anyway, it is as Marco says: he likes it that way. Others like it another way. Personally, I whole-heartedly agree with you: I want to know when the person sending me the mail hit the Send button. I can see that it eventually arrived in my mailbox. I want to know how much time has passed between sending and reading. I only want to know when it hit my mailbox when checking some anomaly; I can type 'h' for that. Either way, the package default is ignore date and show delivery-date. Help save the world, change your /etc/Muttrc today! (like I did...)
