When you filter mail to a pseudo-newsgroup, Yarn applies the rules for
*news articles* to the message. A mail message without a Date header
should be just fine, but a news article *must* have one. I would
expect that any mailreader would be able to handle such a mail message
just fine.

Duplicates are detected by looking at the Message-ID of the mail,
but if that happens (for example, if you mail me and CC the list,
import will detect the duplicate) there should be no error, you
will only see "1 duplicate rejected" at the end of the importing.
