Re: $head->get issues possibly.

A second thought:

I'd like to suggest that shortcuts like $msg->date() be deprecated and 
perhaps the various shortcuts reconsidered.  My rationale is that most 
shortcuts such as "to" and "from" are returning cleaned, programmer-ready 
objects (Mail::Address) rather than the raw headers themselves.  I think 
that date() should either be the same (i.e. my suggestion that it return a 
DateTime object) or not available at all.  The raw field can always be 
retrieved with a header->get() and the "timestamp" call is the "better" 
shortcut to use.
