That shouldn't be a problem at all.  A new message is marked by a line 
that starts with "From ", and everything after the '-' can be parsed 
with the system date libraries.  Or ignored.  Some messages won't have a 
date on that line at all.  For those that do, that date will mark when 
Thunderbird downloaded the message, not the Date in the message, so it's 
probably not what you want anyway.
