I don't think so ?!
Contained in the email header is all kinds of good stuff, such as dates,
times, names, and servers that the message was sent from, recieved by,
(and often) relayed through.
Do you somehow throw all that info away when you move or archive the
message?
(well, if you save it as a document, you probably do)
Better go back and look at how you handle those messages, to preserve the
pertinant header info!

mildly amused...
