Yeah verily. e.g.

<p>In <a href="mid:9511222124.AA21131@severn.wash.inmet.com;date=Wed,%2022%20Nov%201995%2016:24:08%20EST;to=uri@bunyip.com;from=asg@severn.wash.imnet.com">a previous message</a>, Al Gilman writes:

This would allow folks to apply heuristics like:

	I know an archive for the uri@bunyp.com mailing list
	exists on ftp.foo.bar

Similarly for newsgroup archives, local mail archives, etc.

The date is immensely useful in these situations too (though I wish
it were written in YYYYMMDD format).
