message: fall-back to received for dateless

Browse Source 
For the (rare) messages without a Date: header, attempt to guess a date
from the top (most-recent) Received: header. Not perfect, of course, but
better than nothing.

Requires re-indexing to apply to already indexed messages.

Should help for #1083.
