Yeah - I see it a lot. Also seeing mail with missing Date: headers. Most (but
not all) is sent from automated systems, ie: order confirmation, etc.

I've attached a patch which is working for me with message-id.. a bit of a
hack.

Yeah.. just a little inconvient if I'm checking mail via my iPhone then have
to sup-sync before reading when I'm back in front of a terminal. Any issues
with running sup-sync via cron ?
